Ali’s journey in advertising is one of resilience, hard work, and passion for ideas. Over the years, his work has been recognized with awards from festivals like the Clios, FIAP, London International Awards, El Ojo de Iberoamérica, Wave Festival, Caribe International Advertising Awards, El Sol de San Sebastián, ANDA Awards, and Venezuela’s Creative Circle Awards. He’s also had the honor of being featured multiple times in Lürzer’s Archive, a true milestone for any creative.
Ali grew up in a small town in Venezuela and worked his way up to some of the biggest names in advertising. From starting as a Junior Art Director to becoming an Executive Creative Director at two of the top agencies in his country. His professional journey includes roles at global agencies like Publicis, Saatchi & Saatchi, Leo Burnett, BBDO, and La Web–the largest digital agency in Venezuela.
Teaching and mentoring have always been close to Ali’s heart. He’s taught at the Brother School of Creatives, co-founded Leo Burnett Venezuela’s Green University to help young talent grow, and given free talks at universities and festivals to share his knowledge and experiences with the next generation.
When he’s not working, Ali spends his time surfing, exploring digital art, or diving into professional retouching, another skill that’s brought him recognition and awards.
Now living in Miami, Ali enjoys life with his wife, Carolina, and their two kids, Emiliana and Maximiliano, finding inspiration in his family and the world around him.
