After spending nine months in the womb, I decided it was time to come out and say HOLA.

I realized at that time that the world was too big to live in one single place. So i decided to explore it. That choice lead me to live in 9 different cities and 12 different apartments so far, helping me broaden my horizons with the help of the people that i meet and the cultures that I absorb along the way.

As you can tell by now I am extremely curious. I try to see everything with the eyes of a child, which helps me as a creative to find new possibilities and a unique way to see the world.
