Hi, I’m Joaquin
I make the region feel closer and more legible.
I’m a bilingual digital creator and product-minded storyteller from Ecuador. My work helps global audiences understand this part of the world as a place full of ideas, talent, contradictions, and opportunity.
Across videos, essays, and digital products, I pair local experience with a clear editorial lens—because the most interesting stories are usually the ones that resist the simplest version.
