02 / Behind the workNot just the what.
Not just the what.
The why.
Three questions to read the work through.
01 — CONTEXT
What needs to change?
Waste, habitat protection, everyday movement: each brief starts with a behaviour or issue to address.
02 — CONCEPT
Where is the connection?
A familiar action can carry a new meaning — saving a post, taking the subway or throwing something away.
03 — EXECUTION
How does the idea show up?
Campaign artwork and films make the concept tangible. The cases distinguish those proposals from measured outcomes.
03 / About meCreative roots.
Creative roots.
Digital perspective.
I'm Derek, a Chilean advertising graduate based in Berlin. Trilingual: Spanish, English and German.
My education connects advertising at Universidad del Desarrollo, art direction at Miami Ad School and strategic digital marketing at Arden University. This portfolio brings together campaign concepts developed during that journey.
I'm looking for a junior creative role where I can contribute ideas and develop work alongside an experienced team.
