Helena Pinillos - Art Director![]()
I love mucho
Observing,
thinking, simple things, 
complicated things, colorful things, dark things, 
cutting things, love, breaking things, put things back together, everyday things, glitters, things that happen occasionally, writing things, things that are too real, things that are fantastic, colored nails.BIO
Hello! I’m Helena Pinillos,
a creative professional with a multicultural background.
Born in Cuba, I was raised in a dynamic
environment, enriched by experiences
in Italy, Spain, and Florida, thanks to my international family.
In 2012, my passion for film history, photography, and,
most importantly, strong concepts
and innovative ideas earned me a scholarship at NABA,
the New Academy of Fine Arts in Milan.
It was here that I honed my skills and evolved
into a professional Art Director.
From the beginning, my goal has been to make a significant
impact in the world of design and communication.
With a deep focus on aesthetics and the creative process,
I have constantly pushed myself to innovate and grow.
This journey has afforded me the opportunity
to work on exciting and enriching projects,
contributing to my ongoing professional evolution.
