We started in 2008 when we first arrived to Mallorca, although we were operating with a different name at that point. We evolved into Mashamba as our business and portfolio grew. We have both always been entrepreneurial spirits as we like to have time to enjoy life on our own terms.
It is about the right balance between the relaxed outdoor lifestyle but with a side of civilization that we like to have access to. We both moved to Mallorca together in 2008 from Costa Rica. I sometimes joke that we upgraded from flip-flops to sandals with our move.
Long summer evenings, laughing and talking late into the night with friends …..enjoying simple, fresh, delicious food and good conversation – in an al fresco setting of course!
I have recently transitioned my role/title to that of Curator of Outdoor Living, and terrace design is a part of the service that I offer. I bring the magic to any outdoor living setting whether it be a terrace, penthouse, yacht, within the garden, a covered porch, anywhere clients want to experience being outdoors in comfort and style.
I have started building a portfolio of artworks that I have curated for my client’s projects – garden sculptures, outdoor wall art, etc. Art is one of the elements that I want to focus on to really emphasise and elevate the outdoor living experience.
With more than a decade of experience, I have a curated approach to any project I take on or any item I source for my clients. That means that I have the knowledge and expertise to deliver the complete service – design, sourcing, installation, project management – with exceptional attention to detail and taking care of my clients with a personalised service.
S’Hort del Rei and Jardi del Bisbe are probably my favourite to visit because you can easily walk to them when you are in Palma. I particularly like to sit by the water in Jardi del Bisbe for a moment of tranquillity.
We like to get out and explore the quiet, remote beaches and hiking trails in Mallorca. We normally get up early and beat the crowds and then go for a nice lunch at a beautiful location. We’re both early birds, so for us it the best way to enjoy the island.
