Panamanian American, entrepreneur, visual and performing artist, photographer, designer, model, blogger and dancer. I was born in the beautiful country of Panama . The magical and beautiful little town of Boquete , Chiriqui, with its vast flora and fauna, inspired me to become an artist, at the tender age of 6.

My grandmother’s last names Pitti -Pitti from Italy , (marriage between cousins was very popular among cousins, after the migration to Panama, to preserve the last name Pitti) My paternal French grandfather's name was Claude and known in the small town of "El Frances", as Claudio. My grandfather was very kind and nice to us children, always inviting us for tea, after coming back from school when stopping by his "Citio", a wonderful orchard full of fruit
