My passion is creating collaborative – transdisciplinary – approaches to transform complex visual ideas into concrete projects with effective results.

Allan Jeffs was born in Santiago, Chile in 1973. He has participated in more than 40 art and design shows in the United States, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Spain, Costa Rica and China.

Since 1995 Allan has been working on Graphic design, environment creation, Interior design, visual arts & installation views. His expertise is to convert clients´ complex visual design ideas into concrete projects.

Currently he develops Art, Science and communication with various Biotechnological Centers.
