I specialize in designing, producing, and managing experiential and immersive experiences across art, textiles, interiors, and events. My passion lies in captivating attention through compelling ideas and expert execution.As an Assistant Creative Art Director and Project Manager for HiddenLemons, my favorite and most impactful project so far was leading the art direction and styling for the Spellbound Bar aboard Princess Cruises, collaborating with The Magic Castle in LA. I designed interiors and props, selected furniture and color palettes, curated 500 pieces of vintage and replica art, and facilitated the installation in Rome, Italy.Additional interior design projects included time at Inside Job Luxury Interiors and Slick Design, where I created visually stunning experiences by incorporating travel, fashion, and literature. Notably, I designed a 400-ft. immersive library inspired by Chinese themes for an 8,000-square-foot home. While at Forms + Surfaces, I designed standard and custom architectural surfaces. I not only did the design work, but I also managed the projects from start to finish, including prototyping and manufacturing. I also initiated the first soft goods product in partnership with Sunbrella. Born and raised in La Paz, Bolivia, my parents' textile company, Millma, inspired me. Since 2011, I have supported Millma’s transition from handcrafted to industrial knitting, maintaining design integrity and championing sustainability. I also produced a 40th-anniversary celebration, including a 150-piece fashion show.With an MFA in Textile Design from RISD and a Certificate in Fashion Design from SAIC, I am committed to continuous learning and a deep understanding of design principles. My education has shaped me into a conceptual designer adept at transforming ideas into creative, immersive experiences.
