• Claudio Udler

  Claudio is part of the micro generation born during the cusp years of Gen X’ers and Millenials. This means he experiences an analogue childhood and a digital teenage/adulthood. He has a little bit of the cynicism of Generation X coupled with the optimism and drive of Millenials. He is a designer and advertiser by trade but its his tech-savvy|early- adopter DNA that consistently pushes him to “think big” and create the future instead of just living the present. ASAP is his first attempt at creating this future.

• Ivonne Abbo

  After graduating from college in 2015 with new concepts and ideas, I arrived to Panama City. I had the idea of merging my career, graphic design with marketing, along with my passion for exercise and dance. I started ballet when I was 3 years old and since then my life was all about the arts: drawing, acting, singing, and dancing. With only 21 years of age, I graduated from North Eastern University in Boston with Cum Laude Honors. I got to Panama not knowing how to work or start a business. It was then when my sister, Luisa, and I had the idea of putting all the things that we love together and curating the first lifestyle boutique in Latin America: Fitology Studio, est. 2016. Fitology is a combination of exercise and lifestyle tips that helps women live healthier and happier with better food choice and exercise. Having Fitology gave us and our clients the chance to have what is “the best of both worlds.”
