Hola! I'm Julissa, dominican by birth, architect and graphic designer by profession, artist and entrepreneur by vocation. Now a podcaster and life coach because why not? (I want to change the world).
I talk (in spanglish) a lot, fast and loud a plus is that I laugh a lot more (you know, a bubbly personality). I’m always learning/unlearning something that’s why I’m a collector of life big questions and I strongly believe that more love is all the world needs.
My mission is to create un reguero de cositas lindas that transcend and revolutionize the world.
