PAPER LOVER
Hi there! the about page is usually the most viewed one so here’s my chance to get your trust in me for your project. I have to say, I’m excited and thankful that you’re here reading me. Here we go.
First things first: I’m a proud spaniard currently living between the amazing cities of New York and Madrid and offering my services worldwide. I have a background of more than a decade of experience in the design and execution of PR and communication strategies for more than 100 companies. After all those corporate years I decided to make a (not so) little switch and found my own studio to focus in something I love: calligraphy and wedding stationery.
When I first discovered the art of calligraphy back in 2017, I fell in love with it. After hours (and hours and more hours) and lots of courses to get to domain the technique, I launched my own studio in 2019 with the aim to combine my design skills with calligraphy to create for my clients the most unique, delicate and elegant stationery. It’s been three years now doing so and every day I like it more. My work is devoted mainly to couples that are getting married (and I honestly feel that I get to work with the most darling ones) and to brands in search of a professional calligrapher for their special events and activations. During these years I’ve been lucky enough to work for brands such as Cartier, Tiffany & Co, Montblanc, Carolina Herrera, Brooks Brothers or IWC Schaffhausen, among others. My goal for both kind of clients remains the same: elevate their materials to a whole new level of sophistication thanks to the most beautiful and exclusive calligraphy.
I’m married to Fernando, just the best one (you should know him to understand) and we love the United States while are proud spaniards. We lived in NYC for two months back in 2017 and fell in love with the city ever since, so we came back in 2021 to fully live the experience of living in the greatest city in the world. And last but not least there’s Molly, the adorable Cocker Spaniel that loves me almost as much as as love her. She came to our family after our beloved Porthos passed away after 14 years with us. They’re the beautiful face of the studio, so I think there’s nothing much to say.

Why The Spaniel?
“
Because of my dogs Molly and Porthos, English Cocker Spaniels, because I’m a spaniard (and the word feels close to it), and because of the elegance of the breed that I seek to reflect in my work. And well, you know, basically because I like it.
