The soul behind the brand
I'm known best for
CREATIVE
I’m passionate about all forms of artistic expression. Always I've being a crafty person, from making things with my hands to sing (even if I can’t 😅). This brand is a little corner of everything that inspires me, moves me, and lets me express who I am.
PASSIONATE
I’m truly passionate about everything I create (maybe even a bit of a perfectionist). But more than anything, I love what I do. It’s my meditation, my escape, my moment of peace and purpose. Every project becomes a little ritual of joy. ✨
INTENTIONAL
Everything I create, I try to do it with intention, whether it’s to uplift someone, bring a little joy, or simply soothe my own soul when I need it most. Nothing is just “because” there’s always a purpose, a feeling, a little bit of magic behind it all. ✨
IT TOOK LOTS OF COURAGE BUT
Look where we are now.
My first career was in interior design, specializing in environmental and sustainable design. Later, I got into visual merchandising and small space design. After that, I went to Australia to study English, and that’s when my journey around the world truly began.
I returned to Colombia and co-founded a design company with friends, but soon after, I found myself in Argentina, where i graduated as professional makeup artist. Once I graduated, I went back to Colombia and embarked on a deep personal growth journey. I attended coaching seminars, leadership, very deep healing workshops and meditation retreats, which led me to become a life coach focused on arts.
During this time, I also traveled to places like India, Bali, Peru, Brazil, and Chile where i even lived in a eco-village, all in search of inner exploration, and work with women, which was a transformative experience.
Then COVID happened! just as I had launched my nail studio in Colombia, where my main goal was blender beauty with coaching for women. That project was interrupted, so I shifted my focus to sales since I didn’t want to close the shop and I need to produce some money, I had my business for almost 3 years,but Around that time, I met my now-husband, moved to the U.S., and have been here for the past three years.
Now, I’m working on bringing my original studio concept back to life, but on a whole new level. It’s been a journey full of ups and downs, but every step has led me to where I am today. 🥲
