Astro Basics

I am woman who loves to connect with people through the essence of life experiences of what we think is real.

There is no one else who can describe who I am better than my own words. Even when a self-description might come off a bit vain, I will share what I identify with and where I come from.

I am a woman that comes from the wild Antioquia mountains of Colombia, from the beautiful city of Medellin. I am currently based in Los Angeles, where I find myself bringing my creative world to life, expanding it in the most meaningful way possible for everyone around me. I was born in a calid weather in June. Maybe that is the reason why I've always felt drawn to warm climates, and I've now fulfilled my dream of living near the ocean and the magnificent Topanga.

I am a woman who is the oldest daughter, I'm an aunt, a niece, which is deeply in love and passionate about the deepest ocean of art, specially fashion. Creativity has always been a part of me, even from the earliest moments of my life. It all started when I was just six years old, when I grabbed some old tights from my wardrobe and took the stuffing out of one of my pillows. I remember wanting to create something new, so I stitched everything together and gave it its own face. That's when I also gave life to my first beautiful memory, all with just needle and thread. Those materials allowed the magic of my creativity to flow, and that's what I've been doing ever since. You'll find me sniffing flowers, jamming to Bomba Estéreo or Monsieur Peiné, strolling along the beach with the ocean tickling my toes, playing with kids, touching soft, unusual fabrics, reading books and poems, sneaking away to libraries or art galleries, riding my bike or roller skating around when I have no plans, and exploring the work of new artists I discover every day.

Knowledge background.

Back in Medellin, I was lucky enough to study fashion design at Pascual Bravo, a public university known for its innovation and tech contributions. I also took private courses to dig deeper into digital patterns with trained professionals in the field. Later, I got into women's pattern making at Esdites after diving into the professional world. Thanks to a great opportunity from my university, I got to represent them at Colombia Moda for two years, showcasing my personal project of creating conscious fashion. I had the chance to present my designs to fellow artists, it was an incredible experience as the event is such a source of inspiration for creatives, and I'm still so honored to have been a part of it.

These days, I'm diving into something new—I'm studying the Waldorf methodology, a teaching approach that connects students to their emotions and physical sensations in a spiritual way. It's the perfect fit for me, as I really want to share what I know in an intuitive, hands-on way.

Work experience

After graduating, I had the amazing support of my family to set up my own design studio. That's where I began my professional journey, earning from my designs and contracts as I gained recognition in my hometown. It was in that space where I sharpened my skills in sewing and running production processes. But I always dreamed of exploring other fields, so I also worked with companies like Stop Jeans, Dulce Bendición, and an exclusive atelier called El Redal.

My last job in Colombia was something truly special. I got to be a teacher, sharing my knowledge of fashion design and production with students. That moment made me realize that teaching is my calling. But I wanted to step outside the country, reconnect with myself, and now I'm about to teach with a clearer sense of purpose—and here's the exciting part—I'll be doing it in both Spanish and English! So, I can share everything I've learned with even more people, in two languages!

It's been an incredible journey, and I couldn't be more excited to continue sharing my passion for fashion with the world.

Is a virtual space—an open ground for fashion without censorship.

Here, fashion without censorship means unveiling itself to the public: exposing the true processes behind the companies and brands that participate.

Every participant is questioned before being featured, passing through filters that guarantee integrity—dignified treatment and fair wages for workers, raw materials obtained through verifiable sustainable practices, and production levels that remain balanced, never wasteful, always aligned with the community they seek to serve.

Support for this cause also comes through brands that use their platforms to circulate garments with purpose—whether by creating initiatives that sustain foundations or by reimagining designs from pre-loved pieces.

Above all, the mission is to curate transparency and ensure that in the making and distribution of clothing, nothing is hidden, and nothing remains under-the-table.

I'm here for you if you'd like an
exclusive design made just for you.
If it's for a special occasion, please
keep in mind it needs to be requested
at least one month in advance so I can
make it happen.

I create design patterns for
production, which include a technical
sheet with sketches and descriptions
to make the sewing process easier.

I also offer guidance in workshops and
support for brands and small
