I always had a brush and paper and drew girls in dresses ever since I can remember. But I never even thought that being an artist or a designer was actually a profession. But when I grew up I ended up studying Fashion design in Barcelona.Â
When I graduated I had no idea what I was going to do with my life so I tried all types of jobs in the fashion world. I painted in my free time to relax and I thought it would look cool to print my art in silk scarves and t-shirts just for fun and so my journey as a self-taught artist and uniting my other passion: fashion started.
