About me

Originally from Spain and shaped around the world. I have over 15 years of experience in the creative industry, shaping, building and evolving brands. A hands-on problem finder/solver, with strong experience across FMCG, NGOs and Healthcare.

Always a partner in strategy, my aim is to build powerful, purposeful work. I have worked in Europe, Asia and the US which helps bring global creative thinking to the table. My integrated background means I’m always looking for the most innovative solutions in a broad range of disciplines. I have a particular sense of humour, a driven personality and the particularity of being hungry every 5 minutes.
