Based in Medellin, Colombia. My job can be understood as a collage of people, ideas, coincidences, and symbols coming together to help great ideas mature and materialize beyond what was conceived possible.
      You will find me tending to my plants or shapeshifting between imaginator, DJ, writer, and entrepreneur—designing conversations, worlds and tools that pimp our relationship to the human experience.

Favorite recent projects include a silent, telepathic interview with Adán Jodorowsky on 'Why Death Doesn't Exist' and, at the opposite end of the volume spectrum, teaching 'Using Your Imagination to Transform Reality' to hundreds of teenagers through La Cantera, a public initiative by Bull Nene and the Colombian Government.

Playhouse is the world building and imagination concierge I rendered fresh out of university. Through it we materialize dreams and push them to their best expression alongside artists and visionaries around the globe.

After grad-school, I co-founded In The Middle of The Future (itmotf), a platform to play with the variables tying the human experience together—for example, presence, perception, senses, consciousness, and the mystery of being alive. I also interview humans whose job and function remain irreplaceable by artificial intelligence on the itmotf podcast.

My aim is to create and exist between the finite and the infinite—where art, science, and ancient wisdom keep arriving, from different directions, at the same door.

Que Sabe Nadie...



RestAura es un festival de saberes ancestrales con Abuelos y Abuelas de diversas tradiciones, que tuvo lugar en Noviembre de 2025 en Tepoztlán. Gracias a Ximena Romero, tuvimos la oportunidad de viajar con In The Middle of The Future para participar entrevistando a algunos invitados. Adan fue uno de ellos, con quien compartimos este magnífico encuentro silencioso.

Antes del Amanecer is a free street gazette led by Joanna Riquett in collaboration with the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation. Its purpose is to bring mindfulness and emotional wellbeing teachings to wide audiences through accessible, everyday, non-religious messages. Its first edition — 6,000 copies — was distributed nationally across Colombia, including at MED, the largest meditation event in the country.

“The imagination has been called, ‘The Scissors of The Mind,’ and it is ever cutting, cutting, day by day, the pictures man sees there, and sooner or later he meets his own creations in his outer world...”

Lecture Feedback From Students:
Using Imagination to Transform Your Reality

Medellín




La Cantera was a public initiative by Bull Nene and the Colombian Government, offering free music education to 300 teenagers and a recorded studio album to 50 finalists. I had the honor of teaching these young sparks my favorite subject: Using Imagination to Transform Your Reality. 

Hoping to capture some of the beauty we experienced in the classroom,  I asked a few of the students to share their takeaways.

Essay: Wounds for Tetagramatton
Words, Archive

“I have found that the more I heal my insides, the closer I feel to the natural world, the more natural it feels to live in this world, and the more I unearth my own self and old memories of the soul. Wounds are holes, holes are doors, doors into something, openings, where, if we choose to enter them, the person that walks out is not the same who walked in.”

Mallorca




Tuve la fortuna de asistir a un retiro de neurociencia con Nazareth Castellanos, 
una de las voces más interesantes que he encontrado en la intersección entre cerebro, ciencia, consciencia y filosofía.
Entre muchas ideas memorables que compartió, hubo una que se quedó conmigo: 
“El entusiasmo viene de en-theos: llevar a Dios dentro.”
