Hi!
I promote meaningful alliances with brands, institutions and people. I work mainly for the arts and design industries, with a special focus on sustainability and technology. Easily aligned with marketing and MTs, I’m an experienced fundraiser and partnerships manager.
I was born and raised in a coastal town near Barcelona, and based in Rotterdam since 2022. I also paint and grow some symbiotic thingies.
