Carlos Herrera’s Summary

I'm absolutely in love with creating, I can easily say it makes me feel alive and I don't like restricting myself to just one medium or tool, always open to experimenting new techniques and pushing my own limits to see what's possible.

I've been Art Director at world-reknowned Advertising Agencies such as Young & Rubicam and DDB at their Mexico divisions.

I'm currently involved in projects with heavyweight Drum n Bass label Lifted Music (www.liftedmusic.com) as a part of the visual/graphics crew.

Permanent news editor and contributor at Computerlove since 2006 (www.cpluv.com) and Region4 (www.region4.org.mx).
