How did your passion for hats started? What inspires you the most in this field?
I’ve been always wearing hats, but it was so hard to find them here in Spain, the good ones, big brims hats with a western weight. I’ve always been inspired by music but there’s lot of elements too, you can take an idea from anywhere, from and object to a person.
What are your everyday challenges?
Find the right materials and the most exclusive ones, making hats is not an easy thing.
How do you manage to maintain your authenticity and stay true to yourself in your field?
Always been myself, what I show on my social media it’s just me, my wife, my friends. Always stay authentic

Believe on what you do that’s the secret. If you work on something that makes you feel complete you’ll not feel that you’re working
How do you maintain a connection with your fans and followers?
Always treat everyone as equal, if you see my Instagram I post every custom hat with the owner’s name, doesn’t matter who your are or how famous you are. I don’t give a shit. It’s so gratifying for me to meet nice people on the process.
What are your future plans and dreams?
Move to the US and thinking to have a few shops
How do you manage to find a balance between your creative work and personal life?
That’s so hard sometimes, I work all the week, sundays too and sometimes it’s hard to stay out from your job but there’s when I think that I’m so thankful to do what I do.
