I was born and raised in Bogotá, a big city far from nature, even though I was born in a beautiful country with plenty of natural life.

I grew up in a time and in a place where things matter. In our house, we didn’t drop food in the bin, we used good quality clothes (and not too many) to last long, we didn’t buy anything that we won’t use and I heard as many times as I needed – “turn down the lights after you go out of a room” until I learned it.

When I was a child I thought it was only because of money but now I realise that all the things, materials, people and time had value for my family. Now, I make my products avoiding over-consumption and waste of materials, giving importance to work and skills, and taking care of people and nature, just as I learned.

What kind of planet would we like for our children? 

My daughter loves every kind of animal and plant and has an incredible connection to everything in nature. She is that girl picking snails up on the pavement to keep them safe. She makes me aware of our natural connection to the environment and how I would like the planet to be in the future.

For sure, all we want for our children is the best. I would like them to have a green planet, to breathe clean air, grow healthy and live happily. I wish they will have earth to enjoy the sun, the sea, good food, clean water and blue skies.
