His path began a few years ago, while making handmade notebooks and decided to incorporate some embroidery on the covers. Following this, he began to learn techniques of Mexican embroidery, embroidery with stones, or cutting and sewing for haute couture; also, in parallel he illustrated and delved into watercolor, until he realized that he had to mix his two passions.

Their diburdaditos (small embroidered and colorful characters), became part of a collection of clothes of the merchandising of a rock band.
