I’m Luis. I was born in Mexico City where I became an Executive Chef.
After graduating from culinary school, working in the food industry for a year and motivated by my passion in BMX, I moved to Vancouver, BC.
Here in Vancouver I became interested in film and photography and obtained an Advanced Double Diploma in Web Development and Digital Arts and a Film Production Certificate.
I have been working on feature films, television, music videos and web as a visual effects and motion graphics artist since 2008. I’m passionate about BMX, visual effects, photography and culinary arts. I’m young, have a great eye for detail, am an expert at troubleshooting and am always keen to learn something new and improve my skills.
I am fluent in both, Spanish and English and am a Permanent Canadian Resident.
