About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Well... let's start from the top...

I was born in an Andalusian family in a city at the shorest of the Mediterranean, Almería. I grew up listening boleros and baladas because of my mom, although I soon discovered real music, rock&roll, thanks to this marvelous gadget called radio. Tired of public education at sixteen I decided that I was done with studiying, so I left school and started to work. Dreadful mistake. My working adventure lasted a year and I decided to go back to school, and I've never gotten out ever since.

My mom is an artist so I can say that art runs through my veins. I got into Art School to study Artistic Photography and Advertising Graphic Design for four years. Thanks to my education I've had the experience of living in Italy and work as Alessandro Da Tos's assistant photographer. I've worked as a photographer for several newspapers and in that enviroment I fell in love with journalism, that's why I moved to Málaga to study a Journalism Bachelor Degree for 4 years at Faculty of Communications.

Also I've been living in the UK for a year till June 2013. I finished my Journalism Degree in 2014. Since then I've been working as Creative Art Director, Journalist, Graphic Designer and Social Media Strategist in a few Advertisement Agencies in South Spain.

Now I'm based in Almería, my born city and I try to "scape" as much as I can to continue my passion which is discover the worl.

PHILOSOPHY

Go with the flow, be humble and respectful wherever you go
