ABOUT ME

He is: one of those quiet travellers, smilers, collectors of small things, counting steps and sculpting what's possible within this reality that sometimes needs some adjustments to its shapes. And he likes to mix everything with a drop of magic realism, which is a very Latin American thing.

A map of the world just in case it's necessary to remember where we are so that we don't get too lost. Going. Following. Walking.

Random elements of a random personality: [ mexican tact + british punctuality + swiss precision + german discipline + californian design + quebecker style + spanish flavour + japanese patience +...+ + +
