Ernesto H

Hello, my name is Ernesto and I have a passion for the visual arts, fashion, and culture at large. Expression, creativity, and individualism are values that I admire and try to cultivate as much as possible in my everyday pursuits. I have the drive to look for opportunities in which I can make the bond between the human experience and solutions in the market more tangible.

Thanks to my interest in fashion I have been able to study a semester in New York City and complete internships while further exploring market consumer opportunities that align with my passions and interests. In my positions in companies like Parajumpers and AgentryPR, I have learned the importance of innovative marketing techniques and the value of an experimental approach. I pride myself in my originality and creativity and I have learned from working in fashion and retail with companies like Columbia and Calvin Klein that attracting new-generation consumers is achieved by prioritizing genuine, organic, and raw products.

Literature, fashion, technology, arts, and commerce; All different modes of expression for individuality and productivity. My enjoyment of the arts has granted me the opportunity to write for art magazines and interview artists and designers that share the same passion for creativity that I do. My interest in new technology has driven me to explore the world of AI and Web 3, driving me to dip myself into the areas of decentralization, blockchain technologies, and token-based economics.

My fashion merchandising degree has strengthened my forecasting abilities and has led me to believe that the future of commerce is a sustainable dialogue between humans and machines.
