A friend of ours, Astro.Luz, recently posted this quote on her Instagram, and we couldn’t help but feeling identified with it since we believe that’s just what happened to us and what keeps on happening…
As we already said, the three of us come from different areas: training, design, and advertising. We trained and developed professionally in these areas until we met at a common point: the Escuela de Innovación [Innovation School].
We met, not knowing we were looking for each other.
We all took the Design Sprint course, and, after that, we didn’t want to leave such a magical, powerful, magnetic, and inspiring space. The “Escuela” allowed us to explore and learn a lot about tools and to experience that a different way of working was possible. If we had to highlight what was the most important thing we’ve learned, it would be: “the way to get started is to do it”; and that is how we got started.
Say Hi! was born clueless that it would become Say Hi! From a quote on a post, Say Hi! was transformed into a project that kept growing thanks to other people who saw the value of our proposal. It was born out of the impulse of others, but also out of that “magic” that worked between us.
After a long search, we’ve found a space to undertake our business and show our best version to the world.
Thank you, Escuela, for being a breeding ground, for inspiring us, and for challenging us to believe in ourselves. Thanks, World, for opening the doors to us.
Manu, Lau, and Cata

There are places where I feel a natural flow
Where I share the same language
Since in such powerful places, fear subsides
At some point, what once was scary is now changing into something else
Since the creativity of the bond is discovered in the power of its unfolding
In those places where the best of us makes its appearance
In those where there is transformation
There, in the alchemy that comes about from the encounter between the resignified past and the present, manifesting itself in the new
In those bonds that work as Bridges that help us discover that the shadow can be a creative force
The shadow included as power that vitalizes, that gives life
How nice it feels to be there.
