Born in Lima in 1991 and moved to Montreal in 1996.
I designed my first collection for my cat at the age of eight, using my mother's sweaters. None of them were satisfied with the result, for different reasons :( But I was a persistent kid, so I didn't give up.
Studying fashion and textiles from a variety of perspectives, I learned to combine craft expertise with artistic practices.
In my work, I look for sensations of aliveness, softness and lightness. Shapes that stimulate curiosity. Forms that offer company and comfort.
