I’m a Spanish-American artist originally from Washington, D.C., now based in Valencia, Spain, and the founder of YumYumDesigns—a multidisciplinary creative studio specializing in murals, fine art, branding, photography, and custom commissions.

My journey has been shaped by learning to dance with fear: taking on projects across the world before feeling fully ready, embracing failure as part of growth, and moving through life with curiosity and an open heart. I’ve learned that growth rarely arrives when you feel prepared—it comes when you leap anyway. So far, that leap of faith seems to be paying off.

Deeply inspired by the philosophy of Miyamoto Musashi and the idea of the complete warrior, I strive to pursue mastery across disciplines: art, music, writing, movement, and combat. As the 2024 Spanish National Heavyweight Champion in Combat Sambo, I’ve come to see excellence in one craft as a way to sharpen every other aspect of life. For me, discipline, creativity, and resilience are inseparable. My path has become a constant exploration of self-discovery, expression, and what it means to grow into the fullest version of myself.

Art has been part of my life since childhood, first inspired by my grandparents’ Chinese brush paintings and oil works. Over time, that foundation evolved into a fascination with street art, murals, and the raw visual language of graffiti culture. Influenced by the people, cities, and cultures I encounter, my work blends the sensitivity of fine art with the energy of urban expression—creating pieces that feel both deeply personal and visually striking. From wandering city streets to studying museums and galleries around the world, each experience continues to shape my evolving artistic voice.
