1989, where she studied at the London College of Furniture and completed her BA in Industrial Design at Kingston University. Feo, born in London but raised in Madrid, studied Sociology and Social Anthropology at Complutense University in Madrid before moving back to London in 1990. The El Ultimo Grito studio was founded in London in 1997.
