About
Hi, I’m Belén Cueva Santa, a fashion designer and product developer with 5+ years of hands-on experience across collection design, technical specifications, sourcing, and production management, complemented by a retail buying background. I excel at shaping concepts into cohesive collections and collaborating with suppliers to source sustainable materials. I’ve gained international exposure across Portugal, Uruguay, Europe, Latin America, and Asia, and I combine strong design judgment with a commercial, results‑driven mindset to deliver on brand, on time, and on budget.
I’m skilled in creating tech packs, coordinating fit sessions, negotiating with suppliers, and managing end-to-end production. My experience spans design, sourcing, and merchandising, and I thrive in fast-paced, cross-functional teams that value creative quality and sustainable practices.
