A little about me

As a child, I always knew I wanted to be a fashion designer, but as life often does, it took me in a different direction — studying Business.

For many years that creative side of me lay dormant, until one day I watched my mother crocheting and it caught my eye. I managed to learn the first steps and basic stitches. That’s how I learnt to crochet — and looking back, it’s truly beautiful that it was my mother who taught me.

Mastering the technique reignited my true passion — and that’s when I started designing my first crochet patterns. That year was 2016, and that’s when Showroomcrochet was born.
At that point I opened a shop on Etsy and Ravelry. It was mostly a hobby at first, but for the past few years it has become a second career I pour countless hours into — and my deepest passion.

As a designer I’ve gone through many different phases, but today I would describe my style as minimalist.

After living in Denmark for a year, I fell deeply in love with Scandinavian style in many areas of my life. That Nordic design ethos of prioritising comfort and practicality, along with the use of neutral colours is clearly present in my designs today.

I strongly identify with what’s known as Slow living.
I’m a calm person — I love nature, sport and healthy living in general. I’m creative, I’m drawn to positive people and good energy and I’m a huge animal lover.

Crochet takes up a large part of my free time, but I also make time to exercise almost every day, spend time with friends, family and my partner, or settle in with a good series or film.

Although I’ve lived in quite a few places, right now I’m happy to be back in my home town — a beautiful village on the shores of the Mediterranean called Águilas, in Murcia, Spain.

I was born in 1980 and I live with my little cat Frida.

I love early mornings — I’m usually up between 5 and 6am, so by 8pm I’m only good for crocheting, watching something or reading. I love travelling; I believe it opens the mind and the soul.

I believe in good and bad energy, and I consider myself a very intuitive person — both with people and with life’s situations.
I’m passionate about learning new things.

Making your own crochet garments — and doing it in an enjoyable, approachable way — has more benefits than you might think.

1. Making helps reduce stress, anxiety and depression.

2. Making your own garments boosts your confidence and contributes to a more sustainable wardrobe, as you’ll be wearing pieces made by you, with quality materials. 

3. Sustainability.
Making my own clothes helped me become aware of what goes into a garment — knowing who makes it and under what conditions matters. The quality of the materials matters. Feeling comfortable when you wear it matters.

Change starts with yourself, and making is a wonderful tool to begin that shift.

My story: the therapeutic power of making.

This is how crochet became a fundamental part of my life:

In 2019 I went through a deep personal crisis — the kind that marks a before and after in your life. Certain circumstances led me through some very difficult months, and I needed to seek professional support to get through it.

And I found enormous support that allowed me to begin the process of finding my balance again. Those were difficult months, and crochet helped me enormously.
Being able to make — alongside meditation and exercise — was my refuge, where I found relief for my mind.

Believe me, in those moments, having something positive to focus on is priceless.
That’s when I understood the healing, therapeutic power of making — and from that point on, this work became even more important to me.

If you ever make one of my designs during a difficult time, know that in some way I am with you — and that everything passes.
