Tell me about your brand Nine-foot, where does this name come from?

I wanted to create a lifestyle brand inspired by the surf culture, and all the creative minds that are around it. I see this project more like a design studio than just a "swimwear label," where I would like to bring artists in to collaborate and explore new materials and concepts always. I choose the name for the size of the board I use, and also nine was the number of years that I was designing shoes before, so this number is extraordinary for me.

How does surfing influence your work?

My family has always been connected with the ocean.

I spent my first years of life in Ibiza, my father taught me to windsurf when I was a kid, and when I grew up, I took my first surfing classes during a family trip to the Canary Islands.

After that, I surfed during my years in California, but I took it more seriously when I moved here in Bali.

Here I surf daily with my friends, it's something that keeps me balanced and empowers me to focus, surfing is the answer to my "why?" Why I'm doing this?" it is fun and really challenging.

I'd like to empower and inspired other women to surf, trying to create a more female and fun line up.
