Who am I
Creative
practitioner.
Educator.
Connector.
I'm Agustín, a Costa Rican creativity practitioner, designer, and communications leader who has spent over a decade working at the intersection of organizational change, education, and creative strategy across four continents.
I founded Creativity Concierge on a conviction that has driven every role I've held: creativity is not a personality trait reserved for artists. It is a state of mind, collaborative, learnable, and available to any leader willing to build the conditions for it.
CREATIVITY IS SOMETHING YOU LEARN TO INHABIT ON PURPOSE, NOT SOMETHING YOU WAIT TO FEEL.
My work spans sectors and continents—from luxury hospitality at Hyatt to global peace education at CISV International, from enterprise change management at Cisco to leading marketing transformation at Amani Institute across hubs in India, Kenya, South Africa, France, and Argentina. That breadth is where the framework for Creativity Concierge was forged.
Today I run the Creative Experiences, advise leaders across social enterprise and hospitality, serve as Head of Communications for global nonprofits, and teach marketing and communication at FUNDEPOS University. My work spans across Latin America and the global engagement that characterizes my career.

How I work
Process over inspiration
I work across cultures and languages, with clients ranging from individual leaders in the Creative Fellowship to organizations with teams distributed across continents. Every engagement begins with listening: to what you're navigating, what you're trying to build, and what creativity would actually look like in your daily life or your organization.
My methods are grounded in established learning theory—Constructivism, Self-Determination Theory, Cognitive Apprenticeship—but they never stay in the abstract. Fellows and clients leave with practices embedded in their routines, not frameworks they admire from a distance.
I work remotely and in-person with experience supporting global organizations across time zones. Travel can be arranged for the right engagements.
