Creative Director of My Life
“You can’t do all the good in the world, but the world needs all the good you can do.”

Why “Creative Director of My Life”? What does that even mean? Simple, I make the rules, I decide what happens in my life and do what it takes to make it happen.
I’m a multifaceted person, with many passions and a lot of dreams.
- I’m an activist
- I’m an entrepreneur
- I’m an animal lover
- I’m a traveler
- I’m a writer
- I’m creative
And why do I have to focus on just one thing? Why must I define myself with just one word? I refuse to limit myself and my self worth to just a label. No one is just on thing. I love combining my passions, because I AM a combination of all those things, they are what make me…me.
Did you know that Spain alone throws away 3.500 million bottles of water every year?
It’s an astronomical number. And the reality is that in most homes in Spain, it’s completely unnecessary to buy bottled water. There are great alternatives out there.
I’m a believer in rising to the challenge and I’m always thinking of solutions to problems, that’s why I created Agua Sin Plástico (Plastic-Free Water)
With this new project I want to help raise awareness on this issue and help people understand the problem and provide tangible solutions that people can put into practice TODAY to eliminate plastic water bottles from our homes.
It’s up to us to make a change!

Did you know that buying as a part of a consumer group is much more cost-effective than doing it individually?
Why? Simple! When a group of people buy together it creates a larger volume or turnover compared to doing it alone. Buying a truckload of toothpastes is more cost-effective than buying one tube.
And, if we can buy together in a more conscious and responsible way, what do we have to lose? I created this consumer group so we can reduce our environmental impact in a cost-effective way, together.
One of the most common complaints when I talk about buying more environmentally friendly products is: “sounds great, but that’s expensive” or “that’s too hard.” Well, your excuses are over, here is your answer.
My Failed Projects
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose learn
Empodérate 21
Empodérate 21 was an online community that I created to empower people to live healthier and more conscious lives as well as educating people in the realms of leadership and entrepreneurship.
LESSON LEARNED: The idea was too broad, and I was trying to do too many things at the same time. It would’ve been better to focus on just one thing.
Upwork Tips en Español
It was an account created to give people tips and tricks to fully take advantage of their Upwork accounts in Spanish. I started because I saw there wasn’t much information in Spanish about Upwork.
LESSON LEARNED: The research process to find my end client wasn’t thorough enough.
Your First Client in 30 Days
Related to the previous project, I wrote a 40-page ebook explaining step-by-step and with practical examples how to get the first client on Upwork in 30 days. Only one person bought it for a grand total of 9.99€.
