About Me

Hi, I’m an architecture student with a strong passion for visual storytelling, photography, and design.

My work focuses on capturing spaces in a way that feels intentional and visually striking — whether that’s architecture, urban environments, or everyday moments. I’m particularly interested in how composition, light, and perspective can completely change the way a space is experienced.

Alongside my studies, I’ve developed skills in photography, layout design, and creative direction, which I now use to help others improve their visual work. I understand what it’s like to start from scratch, so my teaching approach is clear, practical, and easy to follow.

I specialise in helping beginners:

Improve their photography using just their phone
Understand composition and framing
Develop a clean, consistent visual style
Build confidence in their creative work

My lessons are relaxed, supportive, and tailored to each student. Whether you’re looking to improve your photos for personal use, social media, or a portfolio, I’ll help you develop skills you can actually use.

Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Learn how to set up digital art and designs for CMYK printing.

Setting up documents to include bleed from the get-go, create rich blacks, colour sample RGB colours and find closest CMYK matches or identify unprintable colours.

There isn’t anything more disappointing as a designer, than sending off a design you’re proud of to a print company and receiving back a product that is dull, has a white edge you weren't expecting or shows a mish mash of black shades that looked the same on-screen.

I can teach you how to set up your work so it’s right from the start.

Spot signs of when the printing has gone wrong, such as out-of-register printing and colour variations throughout the print run on the product you have received.

Do you want to create manga seriously but don't know where to start?

In this course we will work in depth on the 5 fundamental pillars of manga:
. Characters
Setting
. Plot
. Issue
. Drawing

The classes are designed for beginners and intermediate students who really want to improve, but don't know where to start or need a solid foundation.

Each class contains a theoretical part that will then be put into practice through exercises and development of ideas, in order to better internalize the concepts and learn to apply them correctly.

This course focuses primarily on the first four pillars and not so much on isolated technical drawing. The goal is to understand how a manga functions as a complete work and how to make all its elements work together.

At the end of the course, all the knowledge learned will be combined to create your own short manga or one-shot.

In this session we will:
A level assessment
We'll talk about your goals
We will organize a learning plan tailored to you.
