Born in Barcelona, Jose Tirado holds a BA in Media and Communication by Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona). After graduating, he moved to Madrid to study at ECAM Film School and, once again back to Barcelona, he completed his studies in ESCAC Film School. After working several years in different fields of the film industry, he discovered his passion for art direction. His other obsession, collecting and conservation of antique furniture, encouraged him to further his education on the topic at the Institute for Furniture Conservation and Restoration. Since 2013 Jose works as an art director for both commercials, fashion and music videos. Thanks to this experience, he has taught classes in IED (European Institute of Design) and has been nominated for Best Production Design at UK Music Video Awards, Berlin Ciclope Festival and APCP Awards (Spanish Association for Commercial Film Producers). Jose speaks Catalan, Spanish, English and Italian fluently.
