I grew up in Mexico City, the child of architect parents who were obsessed with books. On weekends, adventure meant visits to second hand bookshops and flea markets searching for books that others had left behind. At a young age, I connected to stories and drawing. Books became my ticket to distant and diverse places and I was fascinated by imagery from different cultures. At age eleven, I lived for a time in England where I learned to use a printing press to create my first book.
