I try making sense of it by tapping into the most secluded corners of my imagination and translating what I find into stories.  I want people to see themselves reflected in places they wouldn’t ever expect; in an alien questioning their identity, a tea party host with attachment issues or a kid shocked into adulthood by the world’s horrors. Growing up in Colombia, I was influenced early on by the Magical Realism literary movement which blurs the line that separates reality from fantasy and allows us to explore our humanity through worlds rich in symbolism and wonder. My work aims to explore the darker aspects of the human experience in ways that tickle the brain.

Some fun facts about me:

I speak Spanish, French and (hopefully) Portuguese in a few months.

I’m afraid of elevators and the loud sound of airplane toilets.

I’m also a professional teleprompter operator. I’ve worked with Shakira, Damiano David, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and other really cool people.

When I was 5, I became obsessed with Shrek 2 up until the part where he became human. I watched it multiple times a day for months until the DVD broke.
