Born in the Canary Islands, always dreamed of going further.
Being based in Barcelona most of the time while traveling has made me focus and at the same time made the feeling of going further grow… Always trying to be one step ahead.
Each person is unique, each project is also unique, so I always try to leave an unmistakable feeling in each one of them. I believe that: "if you want people to remember you, you need to give them something for you to be remembered by, and the best is always a part of you."
Showing other people that being unique is not a possibility is a reality.
