About Me

I was born in rainy Belgium to Cuban-native parents.
As a result of my enriching upbringing but bleak surroundings, I have developed a constant urge to be surrounded by pleasing objects and immerse myself in literature and art in the search for the beauty of everyday life.

During my time at
Kunsthumaniora Brussels, I started to develop diverse skills related to fashion. Among these are the creation of conceptual and commercial pieces, the production of technical drawings in Adobe Illustrator, the creation of moodboards using Adobe InDesign, as well as discovering my passion for pattern making.

Currently, I'm continuing my studies at HoGent as a Fashion Technology student.
My objective right now is to improve my technical drawing proficiency, continue to develop my abilities to design and create intricate patterns, and to further train in the use of the 3D fashion design and development software.

my career so far

As a young creative student, I have had the pleasure of working with talented individuals who advocate for sustainable practices.

In 2019 my work entailed designing and manufacturing deconstructed costumes for the play

Edward Twee by fABULEUS, a theater company located in Leuven.

Afterwards in 2022, I assisted in the production of a collection of upcycled one of a kind embroidered shirts for the brand Paule Josephe.

Finally, in the first semester of my sophomore year in college, I undertook an apprenticeship at Atelier Liesbeth Verhelst, a local designer of leather goods known for crafting durable and high quality products.

A young woman is posed against a dark background, wearing a costume designed for the play "Edward Twee." The costume features a black and orange vest with a diamond pattern, adorned with gold shoulder details resembling epaulets. Underneath, she wears a long-sleeve shirt with green and black stripes. She is holding two fingers up next to her face, giving a solemn expression. The lighting highlights the texture and details of the costume.

A store window display for Paule Josephe features a unique marbled shirt hanging against a backdrop of artistic fabric with a similar marbled design. The display is set within a black-framed window with white lettering detailing store information and offerings, such as local and sustainable vintage items, candles, and flower installations. The scene is lit by a single hanging bulb, casting a warm and inviting glow that highlights the artistic and eco-friendly aesthetic of the store.

A meticulously arranged table showcases a collection produced for ZLQ. The setting features a variety of elegant items including a deep blue bowl filled with striking blue thistle flowers, a beige leather wallet placed inside, and several glasses with drinks. A burgundy vase holds a vibrant orange calla lily, while an assortment of coasters, cutlery, and decorative elements, such as a lemon and a small waffle, complete the scene. The backdrop is a soft peach color, enhancing the sophisticated and artistic presentation.
