I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1978. I have graduated as a graphic designer from the Buenos Aires University.
I am a passionate by nature, reusing and recicle materials. I love creating illustrations reusing textiles and embroidering them. My collages usually incorporates layers and layers of sewed fabrics and coloured papers.
I am inspired by colors, patterns, buttons, and above all by vintage children’s books and fabrics.
