About me
I am made in Spain and based in the UK. Working as a textile and product designer since 2010, I specialized in print and embroidery design. In 2013 I founded and ran the international brand, ‘The Lazy Jellyfish’ up until 2018. While designing for fashion and interiors, I am also developed skills in digital painting and worked as a trends researcher and analyst. Since 2018 painting has been my main creative practice, applying these works into different fields, particularly through textiles, like rugs or throws. I have also worked creatively with ceramics. My expanded interest in different mediums of art has led me to develop a strong collection of visual, sound, and set design projects.
Projects
  • Embroidery canvas
    Embroidery canvasOPEN TO COMMISSIONS I started embroidering again during the lockdown. I was also spending the majority of the time painting, then I thought that I might be cool mixing both. Then I started embroidering canvas with my paintings. I paint with acrylic the canvas then I draw my design and I start embroidering the canvas. It's the most peaceful and satisfying activity I did in my life and I'm open to commissions.
  • Embroidery

  • Carpets
    CarpetsI made my paintings into carpets.
  • Paintings
    PaintingsI've being always very scared and ashamed about the way I paint. I had so many barriers and I always preferred to use technology to draw or design, as a way to express my myself. I couple of years ago I started painting at home, enjoying while I mixed the colors and spread them on the paper. Afterwards I started having more practice and developed a style(still in this page) and now painting it´s the main activity that makes me feel free and happy.

    In my job in Gently, where it sells childrenswear and footwear, toys, homeware, and accessories across the three shops, I help with ordering, assisting to trade shows, marketing and visual merchandising. I also keep the shops running smoothly, hiring and training the right people and ensuring that the retail site meets all quality standards and regulations, with a positive attitude and enthusiasm. One of my favorite tasks is finding new trends and suppliers and develop a relationship with them, being part of their growth and seeing the product accepted and appreciated on our shelves.
