Born and raised in the Canal Zone of the Republic of Panama, I grew up surrounded by the rich cultural traditions of my homeland. After studying Fashion Design at Houston Community College and Texas Tech University, I dedicated myself to custom design and dressmaking.
Years later, a fabric-shopping trip during a visit back home rekindled my roots and shifted my focus to designing with imported Panamanian textiles. Today, my work is deeply inspired by Panama’s national folkloric dress and the artistry of its indigenous tribes.
