Laylianny Otero, 5 Days of Creative Direction, June 2023

A year ago, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the creative direction course at Condé Nast College in London. This course not only transformed my career but also gave me a newfound confidence in my ideas and skills. With 12 years of experience in the creative industries, mainly in content, photography, and productions, I was always looking for ways to evolve. The course at Condé Nast College was the catalyst I needed to elevate myself to Creative Director. I learned to lead visually and conceptually, to direct with passion and clarity, and to bring my ideas to life in exciting ways.

Since my return to Puerto Rico, I have been restructuring and growing my business, which is why I took my time to share my story. I wanted to ensure I could truly reflect on and convey the profound impact the course had on my career. I’m focusing on establishing connections and exploring opportunities in Puerto Rico, London and New York City.

Under my creative studio, The Wilds, I have led several incredible projects. Each project is an opportunity to explore and express my creative vision, always striving for perfection in every detail. The experience in London not only boosted my confidence but also ignited an insatiable passion for continuous evolution, especially in the fashion industry, which is my true passion.
