Summary

My passion for sewing is rooted in a legacy of seamstress . I started at an early age at my Family's small business, sewing for the community in Medellín, Colombia. Where at the time, having a neighborhood seamstress was part of our culture and daily life.

I followed my mother’s footsteps, complimenting that knowledge and experience with education at a vocational school; through a program call 100 SENA for Micro Businesses.

My passion allowed me to support my family then and once I moved to the United States, some of my designs and collaborations on different clothing are For Lea Hinz and Ty Toyo that at the time worked for the Cirque du Soleil,and for two of the guitarist at the Purple reign show.
