Growing up in Lima, Peru, I was always fascinated by creativity and its close relationship with Peruvian culture and how it propelled progress. These interests led me to study graphic design. My first work experiences in a start-up and a big corporation allowed me to experience multidisciplinary collaboration. They opened my eyes to placing users at the center of decisions.

I then sought a workplace where my ideas could improve people's lives, which led me to an innovation lab that gave paramount purpose to my work and shaped me into who I am now. There, I was trained in design thinking, UX, and service design while working with agile methodologies that were also new to me.
