“I have had the privilege to work with some of the best
art directors in the world; I count Cesar among them.
Cesar is the best kind of conceptual art director who combines
smart insight with a great aesthetic. And, more than that,
he is a genuinely optimistic, kind, gracious and funny person.
He never ever fails to deliver professionally.
I always looked forward to working with him.”
