About me
Born in the sun kissed land of Venezuela, to a British, crazy-for-antiques father and an exotic, card-reader-and-artist mother, I got mom's talents and curiosity for metaphysical concepts and dad's perfectionism and dedication.
At an Early age (not long ago); I felt the passion for creation, finding fascinating the transformation of my thoughts to three dimensions. I would make many little paintings and unique gift items for friends and family. This hobby later developed into a profession.
I graduated as a Graphic Designer in Caracas and opened a gift shop, "Un Ingles en America", where I discovered my love for creating and producing new items. I also created "Taylor's Tales" products.
I enjoyed planning and designing different products, their promotional material, packaging, labelling, blueprints. I also enjoyed visiting local joiners discussing prototypes, printers finding the best prices, and local arts fairs for some fresh air.
In 2001 I moved to Scotland. I changed my cat for a husband and long tall buildings for green valleys sprinkled with sheep. I even changed sunrays for mist.
Contrast is very inspiring......
I have worked with international companies such as Disney, Coca-Cola, Warner Bros, Schlumberger (Petroleum Company), bSKYb (broadcasting company), Macromedia (Now Adobe), Cruz-Diez atelier, (name dropping!)... and also with smaller companies, working my magic by creating strong and powerful branding which really made them stand out.
