I am a designer and visual creator with over thirty years of experience in the world of design, working across multiple disciplines — from graphic and textile design to creative direction, visual arts, and aesthetic research. My professional journey has unfolded across cities that have shaped my creative vision: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Milan, and Madrid. Each place has added a unique layer to how I understand design — as a language, as memory, and as a way of life.

I was born in the Canary Islands, a territory that remains both root and driving force in everything I create. Its light, contrasts, raw nature, and contemplative landscapes have shaped a visual sensibility that continues to define my work.

Throughout my career, I’ve come to understand that visual memory does more than store images — it gives meaning, connects emotions, and activates creative processes. From this belief, UNITEDSILKS was born: a collection that transforms memories, landscapes, and emotions into vibrant textile compositions, woven in silk and experience.

My work continues to evolve, always anchored in the idea that design is not merely about form or function, but a profound way of telling the story of who we are and where we come from.
