Hello everyone!
[English Version]
We are a group of three former colleagues and band buddies. We had to find a way to share ideas beyond the usual coffee breaks after lunch or the beers after a rehearsal, for one main reason: we now live in different cities.
What better — and horrible — way to take this shared creative endeavor to the next level that including the rest of the world in it. This time, the activity might not include eclairs on the side for the coffee or german sausages for the beers, but (we hope) it will include a new audience and some feedback.
Before we begin with the unsafe activity of sharing ideas with the internet, we want to share a little bit about who we are, including our “head charts”! They are a cool way to talk a little bit more about us without too many words, and also, a great exercise to get to know ourselves and find what’s happening inside our heads that’s worth sharing (thanks for the idea, Chris Do)

Without further ado, this is who we are:
Jorge
Jorge is a Digital Product Designer born in Medellín, Colombia. Currently residing in Toronto, Canada with his wife Pauline and his cat Otto. He likes to play music and to hold mental debates over long showers. His love for reading — both fiction and non-fiction — is only rivaled by his life-long habit of falling asleep while he’s doing it. Jorge’s motivation is to write about things he doesn’t know well just to prove himself that he can feign knowing about them. While Marcela and Camilo still work for the same company where they all three met, Jorge, betrayed the group and left this workplace to live and work far away from his home country.
Marcela
Marcela is a UX/UI Designer born in Bogotá but based in Medellín Colombia. She lives with Rocky Balboa: the beautiful and strange result of a love story between a Pug and a French Bulldog. Marcela loves all about Lettering and Sign Painting. She is not only a devoted fan but also an apprentice, you can find lots of materials, books about theory, techniques, and history of the trade all over her place. She has been practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for the last 8 years and currently, she’s trying to untangle a plan with a group of ladies to save the world spreading the benefits of the Gentle Art. Marcela’s motivation to write comes from profound and mostly weird conversations from the day to day via Slack with her friends Camilo and Yorch (Jorge)
Camilo
Camilo feels uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person, but hates to be the odd one out so… he is a Front End Web Developer from Bogotá who cares for two cats full time and two girls 1/4 time. He likes doing a bunch of things including playing and recording music, drawing, cycling, and skating (pre-COVID) and he finds some time to do some programming as well. He loves coming up with weird scenarios and “business ideas” he pitches to Yorch, mostly for comedic purposes. He’s also trying to build a multimedia universe inhabited by energy wielding anthropomorphic cats because… why not? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And that’s all for now.
