ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Elva Pacheco, a Junior Art Director and Communication Specialist from La Paz, Bolivia, currently based near Berlin.
After studying Social Communication and Advertising, I graduated from the Art Direction program at Miami Ad School Berlin. And because curiosity is a bit of a lifestyle for me, I’m currently also taking a course in Artificial Intelligence and Content Creation.
Fun fact: Bolivians are known for having big hearts. I’ve decided to treat that as both cultural truth and personal branding.
Confession: I’d choose Shakira over Miley Cyrus. For cultural, emotional, and probably spiritual reasons.
