I am a freelance illustrator and designer living and working in A Coruña, Northern Spain.

I illustrate books, collaborate with magazines, cafés and creative communities. I am always up for a new creative project :) Would you like to share your idea?

Imagine a world where every single thing that we produce does not accumulate as waste, but becomes part of a living cycle. 🌎🌱
::
There are companies that take such vision as part of their brand identity, a driving force that fuels their day-to-day decisions. They chose circular economy over linear one, reusable packaging over disposable one, local over global.
::
What you see on this picture is a hand made jewellery piece, one of the many original products by .biojoyas. Their jewellery is made from natural and biodegradable materials such as seeds, fibres and wood, in collaboration with indigenous Amazon communities. Every piece carries a story of forest, craftsmanship and conscious production. 🌿
::
When Silvia, the founder of the Sembra Biojoyas, invited me to rebrand their logo, the intention felt clear from the start: to create a visual language that truly reflects their values they stand for.
::
After a series of video meetings followed by in-depth questionnaire I have developed a complete visual identity system — from logo design, colour palette and typography to graphic elements, business cards, shop banners and web design direction for their online store. A visual world rooted in nature, ♻️ thinking and care.

Projects like this remind me why I do what I do.
Design can hold values. Design can support meaningful businesses.

The world is spinning around AI tools and it seems like this train doesn’t have any speed limit. Well, every coin has both sides and where some people can’t stop bragging about the genius within AI, a whole different ecosystem is now growing at the background of the latest trends.
::
Slowing down can feel unheard of, but there are companies that integrate such approach into their identity. Choosing quality over quantity, taking time to personally go meet people and places they work with, and truly understand their product and its ecological impact.
::
Fast does not have to be always the best. Quite the opposite actually. Good things take time. Time is a crucial ingredient to most of the important processes of our lives.
::
This illustration is part of a broader system that I have created for , one of those companies that are on a mission to make a positive impact, align with the principles of and bring to you some of the finest artisan coffee products there are.

You can find the complete visual identity design including their new logo, illustrations, web design and more on my website. Link in bio 👆

When I have moved to A Coruña six years ago, I had NO IDEA what is to come. But I remember clearly crying at the airport 🫣, sensing deep down the biggest challenges of my life waiting for me.
:::
Six years later, what did not kill me, made me stronger. But this post is not about those killer challenges. 🤓
::
Let’s keep it light and with a fresh start coffee aroma.
::
As a new designer & illustrator in town the first weeks I went hunting for inspiration and seeking places, spots where the creatives might hang out.
::
I was told that was one of those hubs. A small cafeteria beside a legendary bookstore has on its front window all year round a white drawing of what looks like a Christmas reindeer. The coffee smells like the morning at my mom’s place and it hosts some very unique characters. I felt instantly welcomed. And so this artsy coffeeshop marked its place on my inner map of Coruña. (Which later on became an actual commission - an illustrated map requested by people that run such culture hubs. One never knows!)
::
Since then many other places found their way to my heart through good coffee & vibes but Cafe Universal will be one of the first that shaped the initial impressions of this town I now call HOME. Thank you 🙏

Today I have discovered a magic forest library as I did my morning run. 🪲🦎🌲🌳🌱 I normally just pass by and give a quick glance to a high window house that looks to be a refurbished old barn. Hidden behind a tall stone wall right at the side entrance to sitting here only 15minutes away from my house. But today there was a poster on the gate that said: “Presentación do libro Cuentos con corazón y mucha naturaleza” and it surprised me. They do events, book readings, cinema screenings, even summer camps for kids and they hold a depository of books bout environment, animals and basically nature. I fell in love immediately. 💚 Signed up for the book presentation and became a member that will be back for sure! If you are as excited about this magic place, the association that the library is a part of has an IG account . The place itself is called Centro de Documentación Ambiental Domingo Quiroga

So, the day started with a treasure discovery. I hope are enjoying yours. Have a wonderful Friday everyone 🤗🌲💚🦎🌱🌳🪲

There is no better start of the day than having a (to be filled) …

For me it’s washing my face with a cold water and then a rich savoury breakfast with eggs, toast, avocado, Serrano ham, tomato and lettuce 🍳 🥯 🥑 🍅 - the more colours, apparently the better for our guts!

The essential companion here is a large cup of ☕️. Then a kiss goodbye to my daughter at the school bus stop.

To truly wake up, I have introduced a 30min run to the local forest (sometimes all the way to the beach). Let’s be honest, our 40th are the new 30th only if taking care of the body & mind consciously :)

And so the day can start :))

I would love to hear your recipe on how to enter the day with joy!

For all the coffee lovers in Dublin, I recommend one of the best coffee shops with their delicious breakfast options ☺️
