Erika is Colombian. Teresa is Portuguese. After 15 years in advertising agencies, they decided to team up as an independent creative duo. Between them, they’ve lived in 10 countries across 3 continents, mostly in pursuit of good ideas and dog treats for Yoko and Hanoi, pictured on the left. Say hi. We’d love to chat.
