About

I am a fashion designer with an emotional, experimental, and process-driven approach. For me, design is not just about aesthetics — it's a way to tell stories, connect with roots, and transform personal experiences into something universal.

My work is defined by strong conceptual depth and a sensiti

vity that blends the handcrafted with the contemporary. I’m drawn to ambiguity, imperfection, and everything in a state of transformation. I find inspiration in personal narratives, in the symbolism of materials, and in how fashion can speak through silence — through what is felt, intuited, or left unsaid.

I explore mixed techniques, including textile manipulation, laser cutting, draping, and deconstruction. I’m interested in contrasts: structure and fluidity, fragility and strength, the unfinished and the precise. I believe in honest, inclusive, and intimate fashion — where the value lies not only in the outcome but also in the process behind it.

As a designer, I’m eager to keep learning, collaborating, and contributing through authenticity and commitment to the world around me.

Working with Luis De Javier’s team greatly enhanced my skills in garment construction and textile manipulations. I also had the unique opportunity to be backstage during the show, where I helped with dressing and undressing models, adding final garment details, and guiding the models to their assigned positions.

Overall, this experience strengthened my technical capabilities and gave me a deeper appreciation of the intense, collaborative environment that drives a successful fashion production.
