Her father is an architect, urbanist and lecturer specialized in green and sustainable architecture. Her mother is a lawyer, promoter and cultural producer.

She studied architecture in Barcelona, working as a draftswoman for the family office.

 

Later, she started working in a robotics company where she was quickly promoted as admin and logistics manager. She further had the opportunity to be in charge of the graphic design of the company.
