Welcome, friend


Based in Medellin at the moment. You will find me tending to my plants or shapeshifting for my job, which can be understood as a collage of people, ideas, coincidences, and symbols coming together to help great ideas mature and materialize beyond what was conceived possible...

Born in Medellín, usually tending to Infinite Games, my music, plants, and books.

My job can be understood as a collage of people, words, coincidences and symbols coming together to help great ideas mature and materialize beyond what was conceived possible. Mostly, I design conversations, worlds and tools that pimp our relationship to the human experience.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Management from ESCP and a Master of Arts in Applied Imagination from Central Saint Martins. Different hemispheres, same brain, I try to use both.

Playhouse is the world-building and imagination concierge I started fresh out of university. Through it, we materialize dreams and push them to their best expression alongside artists and visionaries around the globe.

After grad school, I co-founded In The Middle of The Future (itmotf), a platform to play with the variables that tie the human experience together: presence, perception, the senses, consciousness and the mystery of being alive. On the itmotf podcast, I interview humans whose work remains irreplaceable by artificial intelligence.

Favorite recent projects include a silent, telepathic interview with Adán Jodorowsky on why death doesn’t exist and, at the opposite end of the volume spectrum, teaching “Using Your Imagination to Transform Reality” to hundreds of teenagers through La Cantera, a public initiative by Bull Nene and the Colombian Government.

My aim is to create and exist between the finite and the infinite, where art, science and ancient wisdom keep arriving, from different directions, at the same door.

“The imagination has been called, ‘The Scissors of The Mind,’ and it is ever cutting, cutting, day by day, the pictures man sees there, and sooner or later he meets his own creations in his outer world...”

Antes del Amanecer is a free street gazette led by Joanna Riquett in collaboration with the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation. Its purpose is to bring mindfulness and emotional wellbeing teachings to wide audiences through accessible, everyday, non-religious messages. Its first edition — 6,000 copies — was distributed nationally across Colombia, including at MED, the largest meditation event in the country.

Teaching ‘Using Imagination to Transform Your Reality’ Lecture Feedback From StudentsImagination
Medellín



La Cantera was a public initiative by Bull Nene and the Colombian Government, offering free music education to 300 teenagers and a recorded studio album to 50 finalists. I had the honor of teaching these young sparks my favorite subject: Using Imagination to Transform Your Reality. 

Hoping to capture some of the beauty we experienced in the classroom,  I asked a few of the students to share their takeaways.

Essay: Wounds for TetagramattonWordsArchive
“I have found that the more I heal my insides, the closer I feel to the natural world, the more natural it feels to live in this world, and the more I unearth my own self and old memories of the soul. Wounds are holes, holes are doors, doors into something, openings, where, if we choose to enter them, the person that walks out is not the same who walked in.”

Highlight from Nazareth Castellanos’ Neuroscience, Qi-Qong and Meditation RetreatResources
Mallorca



Tuve la fortuna de asistir a un retiro de neurociencia con Nazareth Castellanos, 
una de las voces más interesantes que he encontrado en la intersección entre cerebro, ciencia, consciencia y filosofía.
Entre muchas ideas memorables que compartió, hubo una que se quedó conmigo: 
“El entusiasmo viene de en-theos: llevar a Dios dentro.”
