What country are you from and where do you live?

I’m from Spain and I live in the beautiful city of Barcelona.

Title of what you do and what company you work with?

I’m a freelancer working in fashion and advertising creating the hairstyles for video and photo campaigns, fashion shows and events.

I am also in education teaching haircut and hairstyle seminars to professionals around the world.

I’m the Creative Director of Kin Cosmetics “@kincosmetics” where I am in charge of designing the brand’s corporate campaigns.

In my free time I dedicate myself to photography as @the_crown_photo

What is your signature style/artistic expression?

I would define my style as vanguard beauty.  I like to create disruption in commercial styles through some aberration in the image, destroying the harmony and creating a visual impact.

What was your career turning point/your big break?

It was certainly when I decided to stop working at the hair salon and started my freelance career from scratch.  They were really difficult beginnings but today I can say that it was worth it and that I currently do what I really love.

What was your scariest and proudest moment in your career?

That is hard to say. There have been several scary moments… but probably when I decided to leave a safe job where I was well valued for the uncertainty of being a freelance

What is next for your career goals?

This a kind of a secret… I only can say that a new way to understand product use is coming.

What advice would you give to someone starting out in your business?

Be patient, be passionate, be curious and never stop learning.
