Hello! Hola!
I came into this world in Germany, carrying the name of an existentialist philosopher. My upbringing, however, was amidst the lively chaos of Venezuela. Today, I proudly hold legal citizenship in three countries: Germany, Venezuela, and Chile (I promise it's all above board). In 2008, I embarked on a quest to craft a life I could take pride in, surrounded by remarkable individuals, and where change would always be a cherished companion.
I'm a multifaceted individual – a designer, a deep thinker, a brewer of beer, and a guy who revels in the feel of sand, mud, and grass beneath my feet. For 23 years, I've been honing my craft in packaging and branding, relishing every moment of collaborating with great, compassionate, and passionate people.
Within the walls of our home, I don the apron and wield the spatula, whipping up culinary delights from Spanish frittatas to mouthwatering BBQ ribs, and indulging in leisurely all-day pancake breakfasts. Oh, and a quirk of mine is always saying "please" and "thank you" when commanding Google Assistant (who knows what the future holds with these machines?). Additionally, I'm the proud founder of a beer brand called Hulahop (@hulahop_beer).
I've made it a personal mission to keep alive the inquisitive child that resides within us all. I firmly believe that those who don't ardently seek will never savor life's fullest flavors.
Currently, I reside in the sun-soaked region of southern Spain, alongside my incredible wife and our amazing daughter, Camila. Yet, I continue to freelance regularly for the design studios I used to collaborate with in the USA, effortlessly transcending time zones.
My unwavering commitment? To lead a life brimming with passion, whether I'm at my desk, within the embrace of home, or traversing rugged hiking trails.
Success and Happiness, Always
Jean-Paul
