About
ABOUT
Originally from Barcelona, I’ve lived in different countries, such as Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, and Italy, where I am now based. These have molded me to have an open-mind, curiosity, creativity, an interest for culture, and to question its institutions.
I believe in a research-based and interdisciplinary approach, and that the responsibility of creatives is to use these tools in order to create meaningful projects that increase awareness of social, cultural, environmental and ethical issues to spark a dialogue, and inspire a solution.
