Whats is my story?
I was born in Toronto(Canada) in 1993 and moved to spain at the early age of five. I've been living in Barcelona about 17 years now and it has been a long journey, but being born into an artist's family, my approach has always been making things with my own hands. This has made me develop a certain sensibility to figuring out anything I set my mind to. This has blossemed into a tendency to be self-taught. In the past six years my life has taken a more meaningful path towards design, art and production. The first time I partook in the Fab Lab Kids program at the age of fifteen, it opened a whole new world to me. This gave me a great deal of enthusiasm and drive to keep delving into it more profoundly. In October 2014, it became evident to me that I had to go back to this amazing fablab world after three years of work at the ELISAVA school of Design and Engineering(degree in product design). When my grant was revoked, I subsequently had to stop my university education. It was then that my mentors, Nuria Diaz and Tomas Diez, encouraged and proposed that I do an internship at Fab-Lab BCN, to enable me to take part in Fab-Lab Academy 2015 course. I'm pleased to say that here I am today, designing my website, at the Fab Academy Bcn 2015.
Motivation for the fab academy 2015
I have many motivations why to do this course, but the main one has been participating in this organization since i was fourteen years of age, as a fab lab kid. I believe firmly in what it is trying to achieve and the direction its developing in to. My whole life i have been creating objects, new concepts and ways of seeing things differently. I strongly think that this course will help me in achieving some of my hopes and dreams.
