About

I am a fashion, textile, and accessories designer with experience across Spain, France, and Italy. My work combines research, cultural inspiration, material exploration, and commercial awareness to create distinctive fashion collections, prints, bags, jewelry, and embroidery. I enjoy developing concepts from the first mood board through sampling and production, working closely with suppliers and creative teams to bring ideas to life.

Alongside my professional design roles, I have co-founded a sustainable bags brand, developed my own textile print and collection project, and directed a sustainable fashion course. I am passionate about responsible design, emerging creative tools, and the balance between artistic expression and practical, market-focused solutions. I work comfortably in Spanish, French, Italian, and English and bring a flexible, international perspective to every project.

This circular knit collection is developed around the key trends for 2026, presented through curated moodboards and divided into two drops that reflect the seasonal evolution. The first drop features warmer autumnal tones, while the second introduces winter neutrals, maintaining a consistently minimal, clean, and commercially focused aesthetic.
