I grew up immersed in pop culture, from Latin Soap Operas to 80s fashion, music videos, and Disney. These influences ignited my passion for storytelling, a passion I celebrate through my work as an illustrator.

With over two decades of experience, I've honed my skills in graphic design, and art. Originally from Argentina, I studied graphic design before moving to London, where I found love and started my career. Since then, I've had the opportunity to work with prestigious publications like Vanity Fair, InStyle, and The Guardian, collaborating with respected brands such as Conde Nast, Penguin, Montblanc, and Nike. These experiences have expanded my horizons and deepened my understanding of client needs, enriching articles and elevating product experiences.

Each image is an opportunity to connect with others through beauty and positive emotions. Whether it's pencil sketches, digital illustrations, or mixed media, I'm committed to conveying emotions like nostalgia and memories of a gorgeous time that was or is about to be—a chic and playful narrative. I value listening to my clients to understand their vision and bring it to life in my own style.

Social media has played a crucial role in my artistic journey, evolving from a personal outlet to a platform to showcase my work. Recognition from figures like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Jennifer Lopez, as well as support from devoted Royal fans and TV personalities like the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has been incredibly motivating. One of the highlights of my career was creating a portrait for the entire cast of The White Lotus Season One and the soon release of my illustrations for "Taylor Swift is Life" by Kathleen Perricone, published by Quarto. Capturing the essence of Taylor Swift’s remarkable journey has been a pleasure from beginning to end.

In the future, I'm eager to explore new creative avenues and collaborations, continuing to evoke emotion and create lasting memories through my art. It's a joy to adorn the homes of countless families and individuals around the world with my artwork, mugs, apparel, books, and all those new creations yet to come.
