My name is Sergio de la Varga and, although I'm from Madrid, I live in Copenhagen working as a designer in Everything Studio. The truth is that I came to this design a bit by chance, I never imagined that I could live on this, but I've been 8 years. And I feel privileged!

I work creating images, mixing and exploring the way in which the Enlightenment, 3D and handicrafts can be intermingled as tools of artistic expression. I love to experiment and I enjoy thinking about ideas for images, fiddling with different things and materials and playing to dismantle and reconstruct ...

Oh! And I consider that the best invention of humanity is Ctrl + Z.
