Do it Scared

Three years ago, I drafted, but never published my very first blog post. I was sitting at my desk, a corporate baddie by day, secretly dreaming of a new kind of life—one filled with creativity, connection, and maybe even a little chaos. I remember writing, “I guess I’ll just do it scared.” At the time, it felt like a shaky first step toward something unknown.

Since then, everything has changed.

I quit that corporate job. I packed my life into a few suitcases and moved to Spain. I studied, I stumbled, but in the end I graduated with a Master’s degree in Creative Direction, Content, and Branding. I built projects from scratch, produced an editorial magazine filled with the voices and visions of others like me—wanderers, dreamers, doers. And along the way, I fell in love with Madrid: its rhythm, its warmth, its unapologetic authenticity.

This city has been my classroom, my muse, and my mirror. From early morning walks through its narrow streets to late nights of laughter in café corners, Madrid has held me as I’ve grown into the creative I once only imagined I could be.

But here’s the truth: I’m still doing it scared.

This portfolio and blog are my next brave steps. A space to share not just polished projects, but also the messy, uncertain, in-progress parts of the journey. Because I know I’m not the only one who has felt paralyzed by fear—of leaving the known, of failing, of not being “ready.”

If you’ve ever sat with a dream bubbling in your chest, whispering “not yet” because you were waiting to feel braver, more prepared, more certain—this is for you. I want this corner of the internet to be a haven, a reminder that it’s okay to leap while shaking, to build while learning, to create while questioning.

So, welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, community, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone, I hope you’ll find yourself in these words.

Because the truth is, the spark doesn’t come after fear disappears. It comes when we do it scared.

And this—right here, right now—is me, doing just that.

With a full heart,
