Who am I?

MY STORY

This is a story about design, love and the magic of reinvention.

About learning, moving, and creating… again and again. Along the way, I learned that good design tells stories. Here’s how I got here:

I started my design journey at Oscar Mariné studio, where I discovered the power of visual language, my love for good typography and, unexpectedly, for sandwich mixtos and gin & tonics.

Long story short… I fell in love. ✨
An unexpected twist of life brought me to Sydney, and what started as a hurricane became a home. Now I live and work here, building creative bridges between Europe and Australia and putting down roots in this incredible place that inspires me every day.

Two posters for the film 'All About My Mother' by Pedro Almodóvar. The left poster is yellow and black with bold text and the right poster features an illustration of a woman with red lips and a red shirt. The film's title in Spanish is 'Todo Sobre Mi Madre'.

From there, I dived into the world of branding and communication, working with agencies and international clients like Europcar, Bimbo, Matadero Madrid, P&G and more. I designed everything from giant stand graphics at international fairs to motion pieces on screens I once ran past in airports, always chasing that sweet balance between impact and intention.

These days, I freelance for clients worldwide, often from my Bondi Beach home studio (not bad), usually with a chai candle burning and a playlist bouncing between Mozart, White Lotus OST and Rosalía (chaos, but always curated).

I started exploring creative AI back in 2021. It was like raising a curious little baby: full of potential, but still learning to walk.

Now that baby’s a teenager, fast, loud, and constantly evolving, and honestly, it’s hard to look away.
Tools like Midjourney, Krea, Runway, and others allow me to create visuals I once could only dream of… but always through a human lens.
