Born in Mexico and shaped by a life that refracts cultures across the Mediterranean and Anglo-Saxon business landscapes, I’ve always looked beyond a facade to find the craft inside. I trained at Llotja in Barcelona and Parsons in New York, and I bring a cosmopolitan spark to graphic design, packaging, and illustration. My path began in contemporary art, with early experiences in galleries in Manhattan and beyond, which taught me that personality leaves a trace in every project. My professional journey led me to Value Retail in London, where I started as Development Manager and grew into European Creative Director, steering campaigns and teams across seven European cities. A chapter in India opened my eyes to social impact as I worked in Delhi with children from slums. Back in Barcelona, I co-founded Creative Hot House and later Lolita & Co, focusing on branding and packaging. Today I craft brands and narratives through Lolita Cortés—still hands-on, still curious, always cooking up a story next to the kitchen.
