Ignacio Amenábar Ladrón de Guevara was born in Santiago de Chile in December 1986. His mother was an illustrator, his father a publicist, his great-grandfather a painter, and his grandfather a photographer. Probably these family influences led him to be a graphic designer by profession where he worked for 10 years in advertising agencies. He is currently working as a graphic designer accompanying his projects with illustration and photography, which he also practices as much of the time as possible.
