Born in Argentina to a German family, I studied Arts in Buenos Aires. At present I live in Barcelona (Spain). I speak German, Spanish, English and Catalan, and understand about 70% of French.

I have illustrated dozens of books for children and young people for both the Spanish and Latin American markets, in collaboration with publishing houses like Edebé, Cruïlla, Edelvives, La Galera, Edicions 62, Santillana, Alfaguara, Grup Promotor, Casals, Baula, Bruño, Combel, Bambú, RTVE Ediciones, Ediciones B, Sesame Street magazine and a few others.
Some of the books I illustrated were bought by U.S. Publishers Scholastic, by the French Publishers Oskar Editions, and by Circulo de Lectores in Spain.

In the field of animated films, I collaborated with Estudio Rodolfo Pastor from its very beginning as an Art and Production Director, working for clients like TVE, TV3 or Sesame Street. I also designed the main clay character of the Capelito TV series, that has been awarded with 16 international prizes.

I love to work on paper, with a mix of collage, pencils, watercolours and gouache techniques, putting the final touches digitally.
