What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in fashion design or education, fostering creativity and innovation.

With over five years of experience in the fashion industry, I have honed my skills as a fashion designer, personal shopper, and educator. My journey began at the Instituto Privado de Arte y Diseño de Moda, where I led 200 students in fashion design and pattern-making. My passion for teaching and mentoring has allowed me to guide aspiring designers in creating their portfolios and collections, utilizing digital tools such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw.

In my professional roles, I have excelled in sales and customer service, working with high-end Italian fashion brands like Patrizia Pepe and Victoria Colecciones. My experience includes proactive sales strategies, inventory management, and visual merchandising, all aimed at achieving monthly KPIs. I pride myself on my analytical mindset and meticulous attention to detail, which have been instrumental in my success in both design and retail environments.
