About Me

Soy una persona tranquila, pero no aburrida. Me dedico a la restauración de patrimonio cultural, en especial a los acervos documentales y el reto que estos representan. Tengo dos proyectos colectivos: una editorial independiente donde empleamos tecnicas clásicas de grabado, encuadernación, fotográfia y uso de tipos móviles. El segundo es un colectivo de chicas ciclistas que impartimos talleres de mecánica básica.

I am a calm person, but not a boring one. I am dedicated to the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage, especially to documentary collections and the challenge they represent. I have two collective projects: an independent publishing house where we use classical techniques of engraving, binding, photography and the use of letterpress. The second is a collective of female cyclists who teach basic mechanics workshops.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tienes una bici con averías?, puedo darle un vistazo y darte recomendaciones para ponerla en marcha, si tienes herramienta, posiblemente algo podamos hacer.
