About me
I am currently in my final year studying philosophy and Spanish at the University of Bristol. I have interned at a number of magazines including SUITCASE Magazine in London, Vogue España in Madrid, and ELLE UK in London. I have also interned in the Phaidon offices working with the Wallpaper* City Guides team. I continue to write for SUITCASE online and am managing my own online marketplace which I developed when I lived in Colombia last year.
