My story with fashion started early—shaped by a mom who embodied effortless 90s supermodel energy and a dad who made creativity non-negotiable in the house. Layer in my Mexican-American roots, a mix of telenovelas and film — you get a point of view that is bold, rich with flavor and with a hint of camp.

Raised on yard sales and hand-me-downs, I learned early on that personal style isn’t about buying new—it’s about seeing potential. That perspective continues to guide my work today.

After working in retail merchandising, I found my film familia in Indianapolis. A community that encouraged my growth and helps shape the creative I am today. For the past six years, I’ve worked as a full-time freelance stylist and costume designer. I approach each project with intuition and intention —sourcing with intention, reusing garments across projects and proving that impactful styling doesn’t require excess.

Most inspired by the work that brings new connections. Projects where wardrobe and costumes become part of a larger story. One that is rooted in representation and where the entire team executes the art of collaboration.

Based in Nashville, Indiana — I split my time working in Indiana and Illinois. In between styling shoots, you can find me hiking a trail with my husband and our dogs or remodeling our dream home. Friday and Saturday mornings, you can find me at the yard sales or thrifting. Working of getting my vintage finds online, check out my Etsy.
