Cris Tamay

I am a creative with a curious eye for color and an organized mind. My passion lies in bringing ideas to life through impactful and unique visuals.

As an illustrator, I enjoy developing the entire project from start to finish myself.

As an art director, on the other hand, I have a team of creatives with whom I develop more ambitious projects that include other artistic disciplines. This gives me the opportunity to focus on the phase of thinking and creating the idea, then directing each creative in what they do best, and together, in the end, producing a high-quality project.

From a very young age, I was a creative child, one of those whose teachers told their parents, "your daughter is an artist." I always loved to draw, sing, dance, music, photography, and video games.

At the same time, I have always been very disciplined, organized, and methodical.

I started as an art director even before I knew what it was. In university, I coordinated teams of people we had to find to carry out projects such as fitting sessions, photo books, and fashion shows. Then, in the master's program, I was also the art director for the final joint project.

I co-founded and managed an independent video game studio for over five years, where I worked with teams of various creatives.

This profession combines my two greatest skills: creativity and organization.

Finally: as a surface designer, I specialize in seamless patterns. Exploring different modes of repetition, as well as experimenting with color variations for the same pattern and adapting it to each client, always keeping in mind the goal of it being commercial and eye-catching.

I use PS, Procreate, and Lr and have experience in 3D with programs like Blender, Zbrush, 3Ds Max, Softimage, and Unity, and I have worked with vectors in Illustrator.

Being restless-minded, I am continuously training in specializations that enrich my knowledge and expand my approach to each project.
