About
I am a Fashion Designer, with over 20 years experience in the fashion industry, whose focus is to bring a unique design sense, mixed with a business point of view, in order to plan and design collections catering to the needs of specific customers.
Born and raised in Colombia, I moved to Italy upon graduating from high school, where I initiated my studies in fashion design, and which I completed in New York.
I have worked with major licensors, such as Disney, Nickelodeon, Sesame Street, Pixar, Hasbro, and Universal, and I have presented new development and design direction to buyers across various markets. My goal is to create appealing and functional designs that reflects the identity and values of each brand.
