I was born in Germany, although I grew up in Spain, I am one of those lucky halfbreeds who get to live and learn two different cultures.
I started off studying Law, and I did actually get my degree but I knew all along that it was not my true calling. Finally in 1999 I started doing what felt right: I started working as a freelance illustrator.
Ever since I have been trying out different things and falling in love with different techniques. You can find my work mainly in children's books but also in magazines, CD Covers, exhibits and even on toys.
