PERSONAL DETAILS / HOBBIES I am an always-‐active person, very social and communicative-‐ I have already lived for one year in Madrid, 5 months in Berlin and another 5 months in San Jose, Costa Rica. I get enchanted by different activities-‐ ballet, piano, swimming, traditional dance, wind surf, kick boxing, drawing, tango, yoga, climbing, sailing, pilates –which improve my creativity. Capable to work as a team member-‐ 4years of team projects in university -‐, a team leader-‐people trust me easily-‐, or individually -‐due to my independent character. My passion is to travel, explore new places, meet people and transform the new experiences into whatever serves humanity-‐ from clothes and jewellery design to living and urban architectural spaces.
