What is Diego’s favorite project?
Diego looks back fondly on his early professional experiences, particularly his time in the press office of Colombia’s leading entertainment company, years before joining 5 Star Plus Retail Design. He happily recalls his participation in organizing concerts for artists such as Guns N’ Roses, Elton John, Pet Shop Boys, Celia Cruz, and Luciano Pavarotti, among many other artists. These experiences instilled in him a deep appreciation for large-scale events’ dynamics and media management’s intricacies.
At 5 Star Plus Retail Design, Diego’s project highlights include the large-scale International Children’s Day 2023 event organized for Unicef in Beijing and the award-winning design and build of the UK Pavilion at the 2023 China Beauty Expo in Shanghai.
