I’m Cristina Benítez, a 30-year-old yogi, shih-tzu and ferret mom, art director and graphic designer (in no particular order) from Guatemala City. ☺

I work as an art director in photography and film projects.

I’m available to work worldwide. I would very happy to work or volunteer with you in any commercial, editorial or musical project with you. :)

I’m a co-founder in Orbital Films, a small advertising film company in Guatemala City and I’m in charge of the Art Direction duties in almost every project. My job is to create concepts and mood boards based on my client’s necessities and branding to be aligned with their look and feel.

I craft small details to make, every video or photography, visually appealing and memorable.

I select, (and sometimes design), elements from color palettes, props and fabrics to dress codes, foodstyling and typography. For brands that don’t have a defined branding or style to stick to, I’m able to bring it to life from scratch.

I studied Graphic Design in Communication and Advertising and I’ve been working on my own in artistic, editorial and branding projects for 5 years. I had a 3 year job experience working with big companie’s campaings in an advertising agency (GREY Guatemala).

Something I enjoy a lot is being part of a local Hip Hop Crew, which gives me the opportunity to work with local artists in many different ways with total creative freedom. I have been involved in musical artist’s merchandising design, album cover creation and content development.
