Hola!

My name is Rosa.

I was born in Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands, seven tiny islands which belong to Spain, located in the Atlantic ocean on the North West of Africa. A place where the sun shines all year!

In 2015, I landed in NZ, with a backpack and an open heart. Excited to explore a new country. Today, I’m a permanent resident in Aotearoa.

For more than 10 years, branding, graphic design, photography and illustration have been the ground for creativity to flourish. I built an excellent skill set in producing aesthetic and functional visuals that keep empowering individuals and organisations to communicate an effective message to their audiences.

In 2017, I magically received a $10.000 scholarship to study yoga for a year in Byron Bay. Ever since, yoga -and meditation- have irreversibly transformed the way I live. Whether I am on the yoga mat or in front of the screen, there is a sense of inner peace and contentment.
