Hi,

i'm Tino Najera.

Nice to meet you.

I'm a Designer and Art Director from Mexico, currently based in Dubai.

For the past 14 years, I've worked with agencies, in-house teams and global brands, creating branding, campaigns and digital experiences across different industries.

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to collaborate on projects for brands including Deliveroo, Toyota, Platzi, Mercedes-Benz, Power Horse and many others, working alongside multidisciplinary teams to bring ideas to life.

Having lived and worked in Mexico, Colombia and the UAE has given me a broader perspective on design, culture and collaboration. Those experiences continue to shape the way I approach every project.

Outside of client work, you'll usually find me behind a camera, riding my bike through the desert before sunrise, or experimenting with new ways to combine design, photography and AI into personal projects.
