FGI Rising Stars 2016


It was an honor to be nominated among a bunch of super talented designers for the Fashion Group International's 2016 Rising Star awards.

My journey as an entrepreneur has been exciting, exhausting, and full of surprises. This one was one of the good surprises. Because I found myself surrounded by amazing men and women who are making great things happen in the city, running their own businesses, and being awesome at what they do. Hard work is contagious, especially when you collaborate together. 

This year is coming to an end leaving me thinking of how things have changed in my life, welcoming me to a new world with endless challenges and rewarding moments. The adventure continues, and I welcome it with an open mind and an open heart. Thanks again for being part of it. xx.
