Until now, my career had been synonymous with technology. After working in the European Apple Developer Program in Edinburgh, in the Multimedia Technical Service of Macromedia, also in Edinburgh, and co-founding the videogame magazine GamesReview, in Madrid, I was one of the responsible for the Communication, Marketing and Product Management of the Microsoft Consumer Division in Spain.

I consider myself a restless traveler, I have always combined the exploration of the most recondite places, with volunteering experiences in an endless number of projects with children, conservation of the territory, marine conservation and animals in danger of extinction.

The conservation of the territory and the sea are my priority. It amazes me that even in large companies with supposedly sensible and educated people, recycling is not a priority. One would hope it was not perceived as an obligation. But with illusion and pleasure, aware of how urgent it is to reduce the single use plastic that are polluting our planet.

It is therefore not surprising that Spain is still far from the European recycling average, still at 29% versus an average of 45%, with leading countries as Germany, with 66%, Holland and Belgium with 53%, Sweden 49% and Italy 45%. We are moving forward, but there is still a long way to go.

At Collartz, I am almost obsessed with supporting the talented creators of hand-made contemporary Jewelry created with sustainable materials such as rubber and water buffalo horn. In addition, I have created the Collartz Air line, made of recycled bicycles inner tubes. And I am also developing a line of Jewelry with recycled plastic from the sea. Wish me luck, because it is not a path of roses. But I will put all my effort towards it.
