Born and raised in a loving family in Lima, Peru, I grasped the concept of creating with intent and perseverance from an early age. As I continue to evolve both professionally and personally, I carry these lessons with me. They shape my approach to design and life, driving me to create products that are well-thought, accessible and empathetic product experiences.
