Founder & Creative Director at Gaspari
Independent Consultant at Loop & Loom"Barcelona has a unique charm that attracts a very specific type of person. Whether it’s students, professors, or anyone else who chooses to come here, the city represents freedom, beauty, connection, gastronomy, and joy – the essence of life, in short. And all of this within a highly structured environment (think of the streets of Eixample).
This atmosphere brings together ambitious individuals, eager to learn and explore, who are also creative geniuses in their respective fields. These are the people who inspire me and who I want to be surrounded by. And, of course, there’s the sea as well."
