My Vision
I'm from Barcelona (Spain) and I lived in Los Angeles for five years to follow my dream of being a footwear designer by studying at FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising). With a native European background, this new American experience and some work in Italy, I created my own personal style, brand and I'm open to new opportunities.
I'm passionate about fashion, a very hard worker and my designs and taste are a combination of love, elegance and naturally, taking every piece of inspiration from the earth and looking forward to the future.
