Teresa, Therèse, Terexa, Tere... I can go by many names and still be me. My work is also made up of multiple visions, techniques, processes, materials, people, and places... all different, yet sharing the same universe: that of how life unfolds, and how we can show others how to face it, nurture it, and share it—from the heart, through love and play.

I was born in San Sebastián, Spain. I studied a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid and later completed a Degree in Illustration at ESA Saint-Luc in Liège, Belgium.

I have also trained as a risograph printing technician through internships at Jumbo Press in Barcelona and Studio Fidèle in Paris, as well as with the support of Mari Campistron and her association, Haran Ubel. Furthermore, I am part of a collective workshop called Toki Alai in San Sebastián, and the co-creator of the collective Kaixo con Amor alongside Vero Steigner.

Thanks to the support of Apuleyo Ediciones, I am fulfilling my dream of being published, allowing me to share with the world—and especially with the little ones—all the stories I have been keeping in my treasure chest. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's Degree in Advanced Design Studies at the UPC, specializing in Design and Art Direction, taught by the UB in Barcelona.
