I have lived many lives. Instead of finishing my degree, I led a team of 200 people in the making of The Cosmonaut, a transmedia experience where we created a whole story universe about the soviet space race. It was licensed under Creative Commons and crowdfunded by 5000 people, raising more than half a million dollars.

After directing a feature film and thirty short films, I became CEO of my second company: Future Lighthouse. During three years, we turned it into one of the world’s leading Virtual Reality studios, winning numerous awards and paving the way for the future of storytelling.

In 2018 I quit everything. It was time for a change. I followed other passions and turned into a food artist and started diving deep into experiential design. I created Cocina Sagrada to design and create incredible immersive experiences around the world. Food, design, light, sound and story became my tools to create wonder and awe. To change how people felt.

In this liminal age of big changes we have a unique historical opportunity to redesign how we live in right relationship with the Planet and our peers. My commitment is to use Space and Experience to design a better world. A world where we can redefine our connection with other, self and nature. A regenerative world where we give more than we take.

My latest company, Arcadia, seeks to redefine Hospitality and Real Estate for the Millennial generation, launching extraordinary locations in key spots across the world.
