With a background in architecture, comics, and visual storytelling, my work and teaching focus on helping students develop a strong personal visual voice. I create learning environments based on curiosity, collaboration, and respect, guiding learners from observation to abstraction through drawing, spatial thinking, and narrative techniques. I have worked in universities, cultural institutions, and community settings across Europe and Latin America, and design workshops in comics, world-building, and storyboarding that emphasize process, creativity, and critical reflection.
