Life
I was born on Christmas eve in 1977. Daughter of artists and fortunate enough to grow up in the forest.I was a terrible student, struggling with my subjects every year. I don't remember ever being as bored as back then. Later, I enrolled at the “ Escola d’Arts Aplicades i Oficis” in Barcelona eager to release the ideas floating in my mind.
In 1997 I graduated with a degree in graphic design.For over 10 years I worked as a graphic designer and creative in advertising. As a side project, driven by my passion for books, I founded a publishing house where I experimented with formats and content. It was pure frenzy—and finally, I was happy.
Today, I dedicate myself completely to creating books. I collaborate with artists I admire and enjoy exploring my own creative limits.
I have published around 30 titles. I am deeply grateful to the publishers that have welcomed me: Penguin Random House (Reservoir Books), Zahorí Books, Mosquito Books, Litera Libros, Flamboyant, and Editorial Juventud. My books have been translated now into over 10 languages - (including English, Russian, French, Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Danish, Slovak, Turkish, and Czech - and I have been recognized with several awards and honors.
WORK
- I share with the world what excites me.
- I enjoy innovating by breaking expectations about what books for children should be like.
- Nature is my greatest muse and teacher.
MISIÓN
- I aim to create the books I wish I had read as a child. I was never a great reader, so I strive to make books for those who don’t get along well with words.
- To spark curiosity.
- To tell stories that inspire.
