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 ๐ ). 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. โจ
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. โจ
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. ๐ฅฒ
