Hey.
My name is Byron Poveda! I’m a Colombian Art Director, left-handed, passionate for music, art, and design. Currently living in Berlin.I started my career as a Trainee in Art Direction in McCann in 2011, followed by positions in advertising agencies including Leo Burnett, BBDO, Vice Magazine, MullenLowe SSP3, and MediaMonks Mexico, where I worked as a Creative Director.
