Me:

I was born in Bogotá on a Saturday and lived there 23 years. It was Monday when I packed my bags and left for Barcelona, but I didn't get there until it was Tuesday. Five years later, on a Sunday, I found myself crossing the Atlantic again to New York, to Brooklyn, to Park Slope. And then a year later, on a Tuesday, I took the plane to Tokyo and arrived there on a Wednesday. A few months later, I went back to New York jetlagged and confused to start communting between my two homes: the Slope and that wonderful place that we call Center for the Recently Possible. That went on many Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Satudays and Sundays. Then one day it was Tuesday and I packed everything I could, gave away the rest, and left for London, and after that for Seoul, Tokyo and Koshirakura, where my heart lives most of the year, and were I go on any given day of the week once a year in the Summer. I'm back in London and today, I think, is Monday.

Myself:

I am a creative strategist and maker that moves between the lines and in the intersections of many disciplines: from physical computing, interaction design, digital narratives and creative uses of emerging technology, to literature, theatre, publishing, and architecture. I am interested in future thinking. I believe in a better future and I am permanently confused by the current state of the world.

I am the founder of Design for the First World and a co-founder of the MediaLab Bogota, an interdisciplinary space for research, experiment and play with art, science and technology. I also co-direct the Koshirakura Landscape Workshop with my husband, Shin Egashira, and when I'm in London I spend a lot of my time with the wonderful Superflux, of which I'm an associate. I also spend some time (not as much as I should) helping out in Makerhood, an online marketplace for the community of makers in my neighborhood, Brixton.
In my past life I co-founded the info-viz startup Bestiario.

I am a connector by nature and I love bringing together people from different backgrounds and combining ideas from multiple disciplines into new projects.

I hold a Master's from the wonderful ITP at NYU and a Master's in Publishing from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. I have also done studies in Graphic Design and Architecture at SVA, RISD, Cooper Union and the AA and have a Bachelor's degree in Literature from the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogota.

My work has been show at the ITP biannual shows in NYC, 319 Scholes in Brooklyn and South Paw in Brooklyn. I have given talks at MIT, ITP and SheSaysUK and I have published articles on literature and publishing in various magazines.

My work has been featured in Design for Sustainable Change, Wired, Boing Boing, Core 77, Worldchanging, Frieze Magazine and others.

I am originally from Bogotá and have worked, studied and lived in Barcelona, New York, Tokyo and now I'm based in London.

In the past I've been teacher, camp counselor, field trips guide, author of school books, free-lance journalist for various magazines, fiction editor, chief editor of an European e-learning portal, entrepreneur, curator for a digital arts and design festival, and director of Communications for an interactive advertising agency.

if you want to keep browsing around and find out what my academic and (very busy and apparently random) work life has been in a formal way, my resume is somewhere on the server. Most likely here, you can also see my Linked in profile if that's better.
