My design philospohy:

Nothing is too easy, too complicated, too booring or too silly to be done. Taste and style is personal and the customer is always right. My design is not MY design - I can work rough, careful, sober, childish, naive, old fashioned or ultra-modern. But always clean, fast, reliable and professional.

 

My inspiration:

Mexico - the colors, the smells and the sea ...
 I get inspired by the thruth, that everything and everyone is different,
the curiosity of a young mind, the visdom from an old ...
everything is possible and its never too late.
