My name is Beatriz Montaño. I am an art director and visual strategist, specialized in both digital and physical experience design, as well as imagery creation. Avid reader and empathic listener with a business-oriented mindset. I believe in collaborating with high-performing teams from different industries to create systems that produce compelling graphics, digital products, illustrations, photographs, renderings, and experiences.

My work has given me the opportunity to collaborate with brands such as Microsoft and West Elm on initiatives ranging from product launches to complete brand campaigns.

For the past few years, my focus has shifted from expanding my current background in graphic and surface design to joining forces with high-performing teams from different industries to create frameworks, tools, and systems that can later be transformed into compelling graphics, illustrations, photographs, renderings, and experiences. 

I am always looking for the creative challenges that come from new partnerships. Let's talk!
