About

Drawing has always been part of my life. It gave me the freedom to live in differents worlds and to imagine spectaculars advendtures where I was the protagonist of my own story. I too love to write so It was the perfect complement to my imaginary world. When I finished High School I decided that living of my art was a good Idea, so I studied Illustration in Valencia, Venezuela. It not just open my mind in an artistic way but I learned a lot knowing so many different people with a totally different mindset. I have been really lucky because I have traveling a lot since I graduated, I went to Bournemouth, England to study English, there I tried first hand what was it to be independent, I met so many different cultures and I learned so many things that I was hard for me to go back to Venezuela. But then when I went back I started working on design in a professional way but after a while I met who is now my husband and we dicided to travel to Barcelona and do a Master to improve and update our knowledge. Barcelona was a great experience! I did a Master in Digital Edition and I learned a lot about UX, digital magazines and to tell stories now in an interactive way. Back in Venezuela I focused on my art and started working as a full-time freelancer. Later on after getting married and found out I was pregnant we dicided to moved to Spain again!! We first lived in A Coruña, Galicia and after a year of cold weather we decided it was time to move somewhere warmer so we moved to the Canary Island! We are now really happy here with baby Lucas and our new family member baby Martin, who are my primary inspiration to my illustrations! so now I am a illustrator, a designer, a wife and a Mom! and I couldn't be happier!
