Hi, I'm a designer who's been in love with color for as long as I can remember. When my dad brought me the first set of Stabilo ballpoints from Germany at the beginning of 1980s, I fell for these pens and haven't spent a single day without them ever since. In the following years, he had another trip to Barcelona only to come back with a dossier of the city's Trias designed identity and done: I knew I had to be a designer. I became a city planner first though (strange turn of events), which I also loved. Gave me a lot of perspective and depth, made me see the bigger picture always... It's been a long time working as a graphic/interaction designer and an educator now, and probably the biggest influences I had were the Italian, Spanish and Turkish cities and landscapes all together :)
