Stories with heart and roots
Born in Miami to Cuban and Ecuadorian parents, I spent my formative years reading anything I could get my hands on and writing stories, usually about magical animals.
In high school I fell in love with photography as another medium for storytelling. After graduating from photography school in Santa Barbara, California and a short stint in Los Angeles, I made my way out to Texas to be a photographer.
Now you can find me with a cafecito in hand, writing about fantasy lands heavily inspired by my latin heritage.
