When I was a kid, I really liked to draw and paint, so my parents signed me up to an art school for kids. There I learned to draw, paint, make ceramics and macrame. I made a lot of fun art projects for six years.
But when I was a teenager, I stopped drawing. In my twenties, after studying for a degree in Tourism, I decided to retake my creative side and study Art and Design at Escola Massana, Barcelona University. I also learned applied arts such as ceramic lathe, enamels, Japanese lacquer, woodcutting, engraving and interior design. Now, I am a self-taught illustrator.
Joyful, feminine and fresh.
I get inspiration from trips, movies, friends, fashion, my city, vintage stuff, everyday situations and everything that makes me feel joyful. My biggest influence is the mid-century illustration style. Mary Blair, Charley Harper, Miroslav Šašek and Eric Carle are some of the illustrators I admire the most from that time. I really like the way they use textures, patterns and vibrant colors. Nature is also a great influence on my work so I love being surrounded by plants and flowers.
I go for a walk, have a coffee in a nice coffee shop, visit a museum or look at the sea, and take care of myself with healthy and delicious food, restful sleep and working out.
When my first children's book was shortlisted for the World Illustration Awards 2021 last year. Being among the 200 selected from more than 5000 artists from 82 countries was a great recognition of my work.
I remember the best parties I have been to when I lived on the island of Mallorca (Spain). I love beach and pool parties.
Don’t stop learning. Your creativity is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it becomes.
When I have a challenging project, I convince myself that one way or another, I will solve it and everything will be fine. And that’s how it always happens.
I used to really enjoy illustrating animals, but lately I love to illustrate people and travel destinations. It's like I met those people and traveled to those places in real life, and I have a lot of fun.
I feel so inspired when I visit its museums and exhibitions, walk through the old town, get lost in Els Encants flea market or enjoy the panoramic view of the city at the Carmel Bunkers, an anti-aircraft battery, which were essential in Barcelona’s defensive system during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939).
I love the positivity and cheerful character of Evite and its main objective, which is to celebrate life with people we love. I think I am very aligned to these values.

Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
