About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

At the moment I am focused on continue the project that I started a few years ago for helping some locals from the Solomon Islands http://www.facebook.com/malaitaproject : water tank, soccer uniforms for the school, and a screenprinting workshop for two villages in Malaita, Solomon Islands -

I like sharing experiences and learning from nature, other people and cultures, always with respect.
If u ask me about my profession I would say I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. But I like getting involved in other kind of projects. Last years I was working for a Toy company designing toys, touring Spain with the Cirque du Soleil show Dralion working in production, a music festival in between, graphic for clothings, websites, recording some hip hop...
