Blur Interactive
December 2000 - June 2008 (7 years 6 months)
I started Blur Interactive back in 2002 when nobody really knew what digital was all about. We used to animate logos and photos using Flash MX, and people will pay for that! One day Volkswagen/Audi Colombia reached out, looking for help to build their brands online. This lead to fast exponential growth, which for me at such a young age was challenging. We got to design and maintain the websites and corporate image of over 20 different clients. When I was hired by Leo Burnett in 2008, I decided to sell my shares, recover my weekends and focus on just one job instead of two.
