About

I took interest in Fashion Design very early on in life enough to study under two Puerto Rican fashion designers to learn the basics of drawing and sewing. This sparked fire to the interest, and it was decided from then on that I was going to make it my career. Gaming, sewing, cooking/baking and music were some of the interests and hobbies I took to pursue my bachelors in Fashion Design. After graduating I have worked on making accessories for a bridal designer, mass producing masks for sale for a different designer, and have taken part of a team-based production management for childrenswear from brainstorming to communicating with manufacturer by the form of tech packs.

Inspirations

As a fashion and technical designer, I find inspiration from late 1800s and mid 1900s era based fashion to incorporate into my designs. From street wear, to evening wear I can put my best abstract work that are attracting. I especially work well with combining colors and patterns. I adapt very well to last minute changes, but manage to deliver an excellent collection.
