In the Making

I was born and raised in Ambato, Ecuador, the youngest of four siblings in a close, middle-class family where everyone had a strong personality — and I had to find creative ways to be heard. Maybe that’s why I grew up with an unstoppable need to express myself and leave a mark, to turn every bit of imagination into something visible.

My father is an artist — he built 3D wooden canvases inspired by great painters. I guess that’s where I learned the joy of making. I’d fill every empty page I could find with drawings and stories, or flip through cookbooks imagining elaborate dinners I’d host someday. Creativity was my escape and my way of belonging.

Years later, life moved us all to the United States — legally and with hope packed in suitcases. I didn’t finish university, but I learned by doing, building, and reinventing myself through every job, project, and new chapter. Every twist and turn somehow connected, leading me exactly here.

Today, I live in Munich, still blending all my worlds — marketing, art, movement, and mindfulness — and still believing that everything I’ve experienced, from Ambato to here, has a purpose. I love animals (especially cats), chocolate, and wine — preferably all at once, ideally with good music or while creating something new.
