He has been working in the field for 20 years, and has been teaching calligraphy and lettering for about 20 years in the main design schools in Barcelona, such as Elisava, BAU or Barcelona Caligrafia, a school that co-directs with Oriol Miró. He travels frequently, holding workshops and giving lectures at design festivals and conferences.
