I focus on storytelling through thoughtful construction, subtle detail, and emotional clarity. My work blends softness and structure, often pulling from personal and cultural memory. I’m drawn to silhouettes that feel grounded, intimate, and quietly strong — always designing with purpose and feeling. My senior collection continues this approach, using modern bridalwear to explore identity, tradition, and the quiet strength of women. Inspired by charrería*, it reflects on legacy through form, texture, and restraint. I’m passionate about creating work that honors where we come from while imagining what’s possible next. I aim to keep designing with intention, curiosity, and care.
*Charrería, also known historically as Jaripeo, is the national sport of Mexico and a discipline arising from equestrian activities and livestock traditions.
