Tell us a bit about you and your background.
I was born in a Ibiza, Spain. Grew up between Spain and Finland as my parents traveled a lot for work. When I turned 18 I decided to pursue modelling and 8 years later here I am.
Describe yourself in 3 emojis and why?
🤓: This one is my favourite one. I've always felt like my head and body don't match. People see me as something I'm not due to my physical appearance and I think this emoji describes that perfectly. A Superman kind of thing.
🐸: This one explains what I am in a more personal level. "A frog waiting to be kissed by my princess" but hey... ain't no frogs here no more. Found my princess, her name is Nicole.
😁: last but not least, this one describes my personality. It doesn't matter how I feel I always want everyone around me to be happy.
What inspired you to become a model?
Nothing really inspired me, my parents thought it would be interesting to give it a try and I did. Not sure we expected it to go this well but 8 years and still fighting my way through this crazy industry.
Who are some of your favourite models and designers, and why?
Models I have none to be honest. Maybe the older "real top models" back from the 70-80-90's. As for designers YSL has always been my favourite brand.
