Who am I?

I'm Iván Mallqui, born and raised in Lima, Peru, but currently living in Canada.

If you're here, you've probably already seen my work. Just to add something, my motto in advertising is: You can't guarantee that you will come up with the best idea in the world, but you can guarantee that you will truly give it a try.

I'm proud of everything I have achieved so far with my ideas, but even more proud to have family and friends who support me in continuing in this crazy but lovely industry.
