I’m a multidisciplinary creative specializing in denim design, originally from Florida, with over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry in New York City and Los Angeles. I began my creative journey in classical ballet, earning full scholarships to train at the Joffrey Ballet and the Pennsylvania Ballet. I later received a Bachelor of Arts from Hunter College and transitioned to fashion and studying photography at the International Center of Photography.

Inspired early on by my Cuban grandmother, a seamstress, I developed a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, fabric, and storytelling through clothing. I’ve held creative roles at The Gap, J Brand, Elizabeth and James, and spent eight years as Design Director at AGOLDE and Goldsign, where I helped shape the brands’ identities and played a key role in accelerating revenue growth. I was the Creative Director at Frame for 2 years, where I integrated design, photography, styling, and a distinctive creative point of view to drive brand success. I’ve also worked as a contributing stylist for Purple Magazine since 2017.

I’m currently the Creative Director for denim at Aritzia
