"Born in sunny Puerto Rico, I was raised an island girl down to the core.  Whether it's been chasing swells, riding waves, sailing, scuba diving, or paddle boarding- I've spent my fair share of time outdoors and in a swimsuit.  Swimwear for me has naturally become a way of life and essential to my everyday wardrobe.  As a teenager I started pursuing my interests in creative outlets such as photography, sewing, painting, drawing, and design.  I've received an education that cultivated creative skill sets by completing my undergraduate degree at Parsons School of design and my graduate degree at California College of the Arts.  As a woman I have felt my body and it's curves gradually expand and contract.  As a designer I aim to offer premium products that function as second skin garments with comfort and ease, yet also adapt to water conditions and a woman's evolving shape.  As a daydreamer and artist, I aim to entertain and amuse my audience through storytelling elements derived from imaginary worlds made up in my head."
