Hello, I am Antje Dieckmann Zallas. I was born in San Andrés Tuxtla, Veracruz, and I was shaped between Mexico and the United States, with a path that crosses design, communication, visual strategy, writing, and creative direction. My name honors my paternal grandmother, Antje, and my personal story brings together Mexican and German roots, a blend that has shaped my way of paying attention to detail, my respect for memory, and my sensitivity open to different cultures.

I studied Graphic Design and Communication at Universidad del Valle de México, San Rafael campus, pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a specialization in Design at the University of Houston, and complemented my education with studies in Marketing and an MBA in Marketing at The Ohio State University. Since 1999, I have been based in the United States, first in Houston and currently in Ohio, from where I have developed a career focused on building brands, campaigns, and visual systems with ethics and strategic clarity.

I currently collaborate as an external creative director with agencies in Cleveland and Columbus, and I provide consulting to an international agency in Mexico City. My work integrates brand strategy, omnichannel creative direction, visual design, conceptual storytelling, audience research, production supervision, and coordination of multidisciplinary teams; I am interested in every project having a clear intention, a precise aesthetic, and measurable results, because creativity, when it works, is not only beautiful, but also gives a new order, persuades, and positively impacts those who receive it.

In addition to my professional work, I am a self-taught writer and a constant reader; I am interested in culture, nature, memory, and the word as a form of connection, so I believe in creativity accompanied by proactive craft, I believe in sensitivity and purpose, and I believe in a creativity capable of serving both brands and the communities that surround them.

My work ethic is simple and demanding, it is simply to listen attentively, think rigorously, and decide with judgment; from there, I collaborate with people, teams, and organizations seeking to communicate authentically, build trust, and transform ideas into messages capable of transcending time.

Thank you for making it this far; I value the time and attention you have devoted to learning about my work. If you would like to begin a conversation, collaborate on a project, or open a shared possibility, it will be a pleasure to take the next step.
