Amateur leatherworker

Artisan leather crafter focused on creating functional objects where technical precision and artistic experimentation go hand in hand. Based in the Basque Country, I design durable pieces meant to improve with use and the passage of time.

My journey in leather crafting began in 2024, after enrolling in a course at a community center in Barakaldo. What started as a curiosity quickly transformed into a passionate hobby that allows me to disconnect from the digital world and work with my hands. Since that first project—a simple valet tray that I still keep—I have discovered in leather a unique language to imagine, design, and build objects that combine utility and beauty.<br/><br/>As a software development professional, I bring my technical mindset to the workshop: I am fascinated by the architecture of patterns, the millimeter precision of stitching, and the challenge of optimizing every design. For me, working with leather is a constant learning process, where each piece is an opportunity to experiment with new techniques, from artistic soap bubble dyeing to complex marquetry assembly.<br/><br/>My goal with this portfolio is to show the evolution of my work, where the durability of the material and attention to detail take center stage. Every item I design is intended not only to be functional but to become a piece with its own story that improves through years of daily use.
