ROLES

Role: Art Director & Lead Web Designer  Client: Zapatero (The creative production house behind Bad Bunny) Global Collaboration: I am executing this vision alongside some of Latin America’s top branding agencies and collaborating with Standford University writters to conduct deep-dive audience research on the impact of Latin culture, ensuring our design decisions are data-backed.

DETAILS

Working directly with the visionaries behind global icons like Bad Bunny and Calle 13, I am currently leading the digital transformation of Zapatero. This project goes beyond traditional web design; it is the construction of a Cultural Hub. The Cultural Narrative We are shifting the paradigm of Latin identity. Historically, the narrative for Latin immigrants in the US was assimilation—dressing, listening, and acting "American" to fit in. Today, we are documenting a cultural revolution where Latin identity is a badge of honor. The "Zapatero" brand represents this shift: pride in roots, influence in fashion, and dominance in global music.

EXECUTION

The Digital Ecosystem (The Wiki): We are building a "Wikipedia of Latin Culture." This platform is designed to highlight social issues in Latin America—such as the structural failures in Puerto Rico addressed in Bad Bunny’s "El Apagón" video—and demonstrate how cultural movements are used to solve these problems and give a voice to the community. Strategic Rebranding: I helped steer Zapatero from a traditional high-end production house ("Zapatero Films") to a holistic lifestyle and events brand ("Zapatero"). This shift in business model has opened new revenue streams through event production and cultural partnerships.

OUTCOME
