I was born in Lisbon during my father’s diplomatic mission. My childhood transpired between Europe and The United States; my adolescence began in Venezuela, land of my parents. I fell in love with the urban commotion of Caracas, its cultural richness and polarizing beauty. The many artistic institutions, libraries and temples of thought that supported my design school era at the Instituto de Diseño de Caracas, a prestigious design school that followed the Bruno Munari method. I emerged as an Industrial Designer. Towards the end of my studies I joined the scenery department at the Teresa Carreño theater, my first glimpse at stage design.

I would go on to follow this passion in The States at the end of the century where I began collaborating on sets for advertising, fashion editorials and music videos. After a few years I moved to Madrid where I was offered a position as Photographic Editor at Condè Nast. Shortly, I took pleasure in many other editorial roles that included producing, set styling and authoring several fashion, travel and design articles and editorials. After two years I parted yet remained as a freelance collaborator and began to explore film in short format and continued designing, writing and traveling.

A decade later I followed my first born to Los Angeles where I continued work in advertisement eventually moving towards solely production design for film. In early 2021, after life altering years, I began creating a series of sculptures that would become the auto-fiction story titled SETS.

In 2024 sections of these sculptures became part of set designs and motifs for a photography collaboration with cinematographer Tom Clancey during a 5 month visit to New Mexico. The collaboration is ongoing, as are my SETS.

I currently live in Los Angeles where I continue to develop my sculptures and my collaborations on film focusing on narrative.
