Born in a cultivated town, San Fernando, CA. rich in latino culture, religious influences, colorful fashion in dress, and an upbringing for me until i was 6. My family and I then moved to Lancaster, about 2 hours North and that is where i got my first fashion retail job and was introduced to a plethora of everything fashion and retail industry related. I continue my passion today in a more conscious matter by mixing my eye for detail and sustainability.
Throughout my life i'v always been environmentally conscious by recycling, minimizing water usage, and taking a vegetarian lifestyle. For years this stuck with until 2015 I started attending fashion school in Hollywood and learned so much about the industry and what it really does to the full supply chain. It was shocking and a wake-up call! I knew I had to do something about, so I went pursued all most work and projects in sustainable fashion and constantly educating and surrounding myself with like-minded eco-pioneers.
So now i'm fully vegan head to toe inside and out. Trying to make an impact on our carbon footprint, a voice for animals everywhere, cleaning product usage and eating, and supporting all ethics on a variety of levels.
