The beauty and energy of my homecountry, Brazil, is the source of my inspirations .
I studied fashion in Brazil then moved to New York City in 2008 and continued at the Fashion Institute of Technology. After FIT, I worked at retailers like Macy’s and Victoria Secret as a personal stylist and merchandiser. Here, I learned to balance the artistry of style, business management and my clients’ budgets.
In 2020 the pandemic arrived, and like millions of Americans, my job disappeared. Never one to sit still, I dusted off my sewing skills and got to work making face masks for my family. After a few small improvements, I started making masks for friends in the community.
