About Your Instructor

I learnt calligraphy for the first time in 1996. After a long break working as a full time digital Graphic Designer, I went back to study calligraphy, typography and typeface design in Barcelona and New York City under the tuition of Keith AdamsAmanda AdamsOriol MiróLaura MeseguerIñigo JerezJose Manuel UrósCara Di EdwardoSumner StoneJean François Porchez and Stéphane Elbaz among others.

All my lettering projects kick off with my own calligraphy as a starting point. Writing letters teaches me to see letterforms and understand its colour, rhythm and contrast. Illustration, typography, lettering and calligraphy are my passion, and my best assets to communicate and provide value.

I have been teaching independently since 2014, and I’m very proud of it. Special THANKS to everyone who has been part of my courses, workshops and private tuitions, YOU are supporting an independent artist and designer to keep on going, growing and becoming a better educator.
