At Freelance, I work as an illustrator and textile print designer, and I also take on graphic and motion design work. My work builds on my Fine Arts background and textile design experience.

At El Corte Inglés, I created graphic and pattern designs for the Men Department, developing seasonal collections with fashion designers and preparing technical drawings for suppliers and samples through approval.

At Carrefour, I worked on the International Textile Baby Department, creating graphic and pattern designs and developing seasonal collections. I also prepared technical drawings for suppliers and samples. I love history and am studying to graduate in Geography and History.
