Two kids are sitting at their desks in the classroom, the boy is secretly handing a folded piece of paper and looking coy, while the girl is looking at the note in an uninterested, bored, I'm too cool for this, way. The background shows a blackboard on the wall and three other kids unaware of what is happening.

A digital illustration of 4 students in school uniform around a table in a classroom. The girl on the right is pointing on a part of an open book, seemingly teaching her fellow students something. The boy on her helf is sitting, looking confused with his hands on his head. Next to him on his left is a girl with a skeptical expression, hands on her hips also looking at the open book. The last student, a boy on the leftmost part has his arms crossed and is also looking at the open book.

Mockup book cover with the title "The Treasure of Itzel". It shows two kids facing the reader in a forest setting. The kid in the front, with an "Indiana Jones" hat, is climbing over some stone columns covered in moss and looks super excited. While the kid in the back has a baseball cap and glasses, they are looking more cautious. The stones have carved signs and symbols, including a skull.

1. My story began where many stories could have ended.
Fresh out of my MFA in Fashion Design,
I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma—a moment that changed everything.
In the midst of pain and uncertainty, while fighting the illness, I turned inward.
I imagined the story I truly wanted to live.

1. Throwback to 2014, when I visited Lisbon and instantly fell in love with it.
During that trip, I created a few sketches inspired by this beautiful city.
In February 2015, I uploaded ready artwork to sell online, and later that year, when I moved to Lisbon, I was shocked to see my art everywhere!

It took me years to embrace the new identity as a writer and illustrator.
I knew the artist, but the writer was always waiting.Then, I realized: Nobody will give me permission to be who I want to become. Only I can do that.
I could talk about this for hours!
However, here are my top five.
