About Me

I design
with purpose.

20+ years. 3 countries. 50+ campaigns. One obsession — making design that actually works.

My Story

Turning
vision into reality.

Magnetto was born from a simple belief: great design changes everything. Founded in 2004 by Nestor Araujo in Caracas, the studio grew from a one-person freelance practice into a full-service creative operation across Europe and Latin America.

With 20+ years of experience, I specialize in visual identity systems, paid social creatives, and AI-accelerated content production. I've delivered 50+ integrated campaigns across Germany, Mexico, and Venezuela — currently at Verisure in Hamburg, where AI tooling has cut asset production time by ~30%.

The mission is simple: make work that matters. Design that's not just beautiful, but strategic. Campaigns that don't just look good — they perform.

Open to Senior Designer, Creative Lead, and Marketing Design roles in Germany and the EU.
