MAX E.
RIVERA
Narrative-driven creative focused on storytelling, worldbuilding and idea development.
"I develop stories, worlds and creative structures that help ideas grow across formats, teams and production pipelines."
What I Do
I work at the intersection of storytelling, narrative strategy and creative development.
My work focuses on shaping ideas into coherent worlds, concepts and experiences that can evolve across different formats, from written stories to transmedia projects and collaborative productions.
How I Approach
Creative Work
I approach creative work through narrative language.
Whether it’s a campaign, a brand, an animated piece or an original IP, I start by defining what story is being told and what the audience should feel, remember or question.
I think in terms of structure, tone, rhythm and meaning. For campaigns, this means creating ideas that feel distinct and intentional. For worlds and stories, it means developing characters, motivations and long-term narrative potential.
I work comfortably both independently and alongside teams, adapting to existing pipelines while bringing clarity, ideas and narrative direction to the process.
Additional Creative Experience
Alongside my core narrative work, I’ve developed complementary experience through workshops, talks, collaborative projects and international initiatives.
These experiences strengthen my ability to communicate ideas, guide creative processes and collaborate with diverse teams.
Visual & Content Work
Visual work is part of how I think about stories.
I use audiovisual tools as a way to explore rhythm, atmosphere and emotional pacing, supporting my narrative and creative development work.
My Visual & Content Work section showcases selected visual experiments and a short demo reel created for personal projects.
