a.k.a DIGITAL ADDICT

RAFAEL GREGOR VALENCIA

Using my natural illustration skills, I make visual communications that convey ideas, concept and strategies.

Back in 2006, I graduated with a bachelor in design, at one of Australia’s oldest art and design colleges - Griffith University’s Queensland College of Art. Since then I’ve focused my career on content creation; I started with boutique publishing houses, where I learned how to keep user’s attention. But this path was not enough for me. I now work in advertising, for Leo Burnett Dubai. This is where I learned how to use content and enhance its meaning. I collaborate with a lot of talented and intelligent people, learning the ropes while enhancing my craft. You can say Leo Burnett is where I grew up as a creative. I am also a member of The Brownmonkeys collective. Together we professionally create visuals for brands that require our unique taste and skill set; but most importantly - spreading our talent and knowledge to our local art communities in Dubai. Being a creative, I want to reach out with other talents from a variety of backgrounds, to learn and share knowledge as I am constantly looking to expand beyond my horizons.
