Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Isaac is a passionate Catalan-American who has spent half of his life in the United States, where he loves to share Catalonia's unique traditions with those around him. Inspired by the ancient Catalan tradition of "Caga Tió" or "Tió de Nadal," he set out to introduce the delightful wooden log to the international stage as a symbol of good luck.
With expertise in gamification, branding, product design, and user experience, Isaac has transformed Soca into a charming character that transcends its winter seasonality.

He has designed an entire universe around Soca, including plush toys, an iOS game, and stickers that captivate kids and adults alike. The popular Soca plush toy features a hidden velcro compartment for concealing small candies or presents, allowing the log to "poop" out joy and happiness.
