I’m almost 30, I live in sunny Valencia, I work in marketing, and I overthink everything. Off The Record is where I come to make sense of it all — or at least to try. It’s a personal blog, a bit of a diary, a bit of a moodboard, and a place to write things that don’t fit anywhere else.

I started this because I missed the internet of 2010s. I wanted a space that wasn’t optimized for engagement or likes, but for honesty. Somewhere to talk about what I’m feeling, what I’m learning, the books I read, the outfits I wear to the office, the matcha I make every morning, the tabs I never close, and the thoughts that don’t make it into client presentations —luckily—.

I work in marketing and digital strategy, I live with my boyfriend and two cats, and I’m constantly trying to balance creativity, structure, softness, ambition, exhaustion and joy. I’m probably writing this while half-listening to a podcast, wearing my PJs, and telling myself I’ll go for a walk “in five minutes.”

This blog is for anyone who wants a break from the performative side of social media. It’s for people who miss writing, who love words, who find meaning in the tiny things. It’s a place to be a little messy, a little moody, a little poetic — and still get things done. Off the record, but always on point.

XOXO
