I’m incredibly honored to share that No Estás Solo has been awarded Bronze in the Campaign Branding category at the Telly Awards — recognizing a full campaign of three commercials, created entirely by me.
From concept to script, shoot in New York to final edit in Miami— every part of this project was developed and executed solo.
What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that No Estás Solo wasn’t always embraced by those closest to it. It was overlooked and dismissed — until now.
This experience has reminded me of an important truth: not every space will see your value. But some will. And those spaces — the ones that acknowledge your work, your vision, your voice — matter deeply. Today, I found one of those spaces, and I’m grateful to be standing in it.
This award feels like gold not just because of the win, but because of what it affirms:
That storytelling is what I’m meant to do.
That directing, creating, and bringing ideas to life is more than a passion — it’s my path.
I’m proud of this milestone, and even more motivated to keep growing. One day, I hope to create feature films, high-end commercials, and projects that truly move people. And this is just the beginning.
Thank you to the Telly Awards for the recognition, the platform, and the encouragement to keep going. Spaces like this matter — they uplift voices that often go unseen.
To every creative who’s been underestimated: keep showing up. Keep building. Your time is coming.
