An exciting journey through various cultures and disciplines

From Sevilla to Amsterdam

Years before I moved to Amsterdam, and dedicated myself to transforming design thinking & work environments through innovative and playful approaches to co-creation… And years before I started writing long sentences in an effort to give my “poetic-self” space to breathe, I pursued the dream of becoming a professional football player. In-between Amsterdam and Sevilla, I encountered many learning experiences that inspire my mission and gave birth to my personal facilitation style.
