Hola!

I'm Meg!

My world is very colorful—literally.

I have synesthesia, which means every sensory input is associated with colors. And colors have textures, temperatures, sounds, and personalities.

To my greatest surprise, one day I discovered that not everyone see numbers, sounds and space in color. For most people 3 is a number. For me is a pink number.

This is why when I became curious about perception, and for the past 20+ years, I've studied everything from perception, color science, hypnosis, to dream psychology and everything in between.

II spent years photographing people and everything I could find. I was a resort photographer for a couple of seasons, exhibited paintings, and spent the past few years immersed in brand strategy.

,

I love experiencing places, observing how color, light, and sensory perception collide, and honestly, I can't get enough of it.

¡Hola!

¡Bienvenida en mi mundo muy colorido!

Literalmente. Tengo sinestesia — un fenómeno neurológico donde los sentidos se entrecruzan. Me hace más sensible al mundo que a la mayoría. Me hace vivir la vida en color.

Como se ha visto en:

Los colores no son solo colores. Para nadie.

Mientras estudiaba Bellas Artes, un día descubrí, casi por casualidad, que mis amigos no experimentan los nombres en colores. Nunca me lo había cuestionado. Hasta ese momento.

Eso dio comienzo a una exploración más profunda: sinestesia, percepción, neuroestética y ciencia del color. Una toma de conciencia de que el color no es solo visual, y de que el cerebro crea significado a través de estructuras sensoriales: los arquetipos.

Por eso ciertos colores, imágenes y experiencias se sienten bien, y otros no. El color hace que la gente sienta, no solo vea.

Hoy, esa combinación (ciencia sensorial y psicología de arquetipos) es la base de todo lo que hago.

Colors aren't just colors. To anyone.

One day, while in Fine Arts, I casually discovered that my friends don't experience names in colors. I'd never questioned it. Until then.

That started my exploration of perception, neuroaesthetics, and color science — a thesis in 2013, and the work I do today.

Because color doesn't just look like something. It feels, sounds, and means something at a biological level. It makes people feel, not just see.

And branding is all about feelings.

While in Fine Arts, one day a friend stared at me blankly when I casually mentioned that people's names have colors. It was just the way things were for me. I never questioned it. Until then.

That's what started my exploration of perception, neuroaesthetics, and color science — a thesis in 2013, and the work I do today.

🎨 PALETA CHROMASENSORY

El color como señal multisensorial, que impacta en cada sentido. Esto también hace que las experiencias de marca sean más accesibles para personas con diferencias sensoriales o visuales.

🌈 ENFOQUE PLAY & CREATE

Aprender jugando potencia la creatividad, la comprensión y la retención. La creatividad mejora la resolución de problemas y la resiliencia. Y la vida, simplemente, es más divertida así.

Comunidades

En 2018, después de años viviendo y viajando fuera, me enamoré de Valencia.
A través de eventos fotográficos, empecé a construir mi comunidad; así nació ValenFoto.


Hoy también lidero She Thrives, una comunidad maravillosa de mujeres emprendedoras y profesionales, y colidero Valencia Entrepreneurs.

Hobbies

Cuando no estoy detrás de una cámara, suelo estar con un libro: novelas históricas, clásicos y libros de ciencia del cerebro son mis lecturas favoritas.


Me encanta el aire libre, el entrenamiento de fuerza, viajar, el sol, el silencio, y hacerle mimos a mi papita Rhea.

Photographer · Synesthete · Valencia

I see the world in color.

Literally. I have synesthesia — colors have textures, temperatures, personalities. It's been a 15-year obsession, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Colors aren't just colors to me.

Wednesday is deep teal. The letter A feels like coral. Your voice has a color too — I just haven't told you what it is yet. This is how my brain works, and it's shaped everything I create.

Tuesday — warm, slightly abrasive
Wednesday — deep, calming
The number 7 — golden, electric
Saturday — expansive, free
The letter M — soft, rounded

I came to Valencia
for a week. I stayed.

The light here is different. The colors hit differently. Six years later, I'm still discovering new things in streets I've walked a hundred times.
