I am a Mexican / American Textile Designer, as well as a Visual Arts IB Teacher.

I studied Art and  Design in Panama and Argentina. 

Passionate about textiles, I took an intensive course at Université de la Mode- Lumière in Lyon France, and a Masters Degree in Product Management at IED Master Madrid, Spain.

I collaborated as a freelance  Designer,  (among other visual-retail support positions) for: Tom Van der Borght (Ghent, Belgium), Giorgio Armani (Spain and Portugal), among other companies.

​

I also worked as a Visual M. Coordinator for different brands such as: Tommy Hilfiger LATAM for the Caribbean and BBW Latin America.

Among my collaborations,  I've showcased my artwork in different international exhibitions such as: Fashion Week Panama, Sin Fronteras (Bogotá, Colombia), IKAS Art (Madrid, Spain), Les Petites Riens for Tom Van der Borght (Brussels, Belgium), and others.

Passionate about teaching, I have been an educator in the Art & Design field at Universities, such as Italiana de Diseño Mexico, LCI Panama, and other institutions.

Besides textile design I co-founded: ergomod.co, adaptive wear for people with disabilities.

I currently teach Visual Arts at an IB School and continue to design my own prints.
