I love art, games, and technology, and the magic that happens when they come together in a carefully crafted product.

My connection to design started when my family moved from Venezuela to Germany. Illustration became my way of expressing myself and connecting across cultures, and struggling to learn both English and German as a Spanish speaker showed me firsthand how powerful good design can be. When words fail, great design speaks.

When I have free time ߹𖥦߹ I sketch, play games (Resident Evil Requiem), admire MCM architecture and visit new cafes around me. 🍰 🍵
