In his youth, Mario first let his creativity rip at sea - freewheeling through waves as a professional surfer. Contrary to the many stereotypes of surf culture, his surf career taught him more than a cubicle ever could - about strategy, competitive drive, patience and the criticality of good design and clean lines. Meanwhile, through his world travels, he saw first hand how Art, design, brands and creativity influenced international cultures.
Back on sturdy ground, Cubillos decided to further explore his creative side through advertising in digital form. An artist to the core who values clean design and minimalism, Mario unleashed his art prowess at some of the industry's most-renowned agencies, such as OGILVY, TBWA, AKQA, JWT, EURO, EVB, HUGE, McCann Eriksson, Publicis, Y&R, TAG, Organic and Razorfish for clients including Xbox, Sony, Palm, Microsoft, GAP, Intel, Toyota, Mitsubishi, LG and HP among others. When he has a spare moment, he flexes his design muscles - consulting for multiple agencies in New York.
When not working or surfing, Mar can be found shooting through 35MM Cameras, looking for waves, drawing, or flipping through the latest issues of Archive, Surfer's Journal and design Magazines.
