Rooted in Mexican warmth and shaped by Italian craft, I explore the balance between emotion and construction — translating sensitivity into silhouette.

After studying Fashion Design at Istituto Marangoni, I joined Off-White, Duvetica, and Khrisjoy, and have since collaborated with brands such as Dries Van Noten and Loewe. Across these experiences, I developed outerwear, flou, and knitwear from concept to prototype, refining a practice grounded in both intuition and precision.

My work combines research, draping, and tactile exploration, shaped by close dialogue with pattern makers, ateliers, and image direction. I believe design lives between intuition and construction — emotional like a painting, built like a structure, and alive like a body.

I thrive in environments where heritage meets innovation. I seek collaborations with teams that push boundaries thoughtfully and value narrative-driven craftsmanship. Looking ahead, I aim to contribute my independent perspective to projects that celebrate storytelling and forward-thinking design.
