About me

Welcome to Not That Smart, I am Arantza.

I'm a Marketer and D&I Chair by day and wannabe creative mostly around midnight. Originally from Mexico City, I now live in sunny Scotland. 

Not That Smart is my effort to bring everything I do and what I am passionate about- professionally and personally- into a single space.

I've spent a lot of time worrying I would never be able absorb all the knowledge and skills I felt I needed, and that while I was smart, I wasn't really that smart. In the last few years, I decided to start looking at the impossible task of being an everything-expert as an exciting opportunity to learn something new every day. 

My podcast and blog focus on ideas of identity and ideology. In this space I navigate a variety of issues to try to figure out what makes the world around me tick.

 

I hope you'll enjoy your time here.
