i was Born in Bucaramanga, Colombia and raised in Bogota. Grew up drawing and sketching. Since graduating high school I entered design school at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Colombia to study industrial design. After my first year at school I moved to the U S of A to keep studying industrial design at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. There I studied for 2 years, only to move again this time to New Zealand. Here I finished my industrial design degree at Victoria University in Wellington.

When I graduated I moved into a more 2 dimensional world and started working as a freelance graphic designer for a numerous amount of clients. My achievements have been getting published as an illustrator in the acclaimed magazine Semi-Permanent, working as an illustrator for my first children's book, and working on skateboard illustrations + being featured in some awesome illustration and design websites.

I'm working as a multimedia designer for a well-known baby stroller company and still keeping busy with illustrations, freelance work, and painting.
