Hello! I’m Juan Vargas, a creative director with an art direction and design background with 12+ years of experience based in Madrid currently doing things @ VML.
Born and raised in Lima, the capital city of Perú, I grew up among tarot readers, flamenco dancers, musicians, teachers and had a 3” minutes fame in a famous local TV Show for kids from the 90’s.
When that fame was gone I studied graphic design & advertising and a few years later did a master in fashion photography.
Lived in Lima, Santiago & Madrid, worked in several renowned design studios and creative shops.
