As a kid in 🇪🇸 I truly enjoyed drawing. I loved immersing myself in it, staying hyper-focused on a specific detail, crafting it from a close distance, and then zooming out to observe a full composition as rich as the details themselves. That joy moved from hand drawing to using a computer and from observing a static piece to interacting and seeing others interact with something I had created.

Throughout my childhood, I drew comics, put together manga fanzines with friends, I designed stickers and CD covers, and made websites, logos, and photoshoots for my friends’ metal bands. All those seemingly disconnected efforts somehow aligned at the very beginning of 2004 when I finally got paid for doing what I loved. The hobby became the job. I still consider myself extremely lucky for this.

My love for interactive experiences continued over college where after my bachelor degree I started a PHD on Fine Arts focused on the impact of videogames in Art and User Interfaces. This gave me the chance to dive deeper into the early studies of graphic user interfaces, the early internet and the influence videogames have had in it all along.
