CREATOR, ENTREPRENEUR, ACTIVIST, TRAVELER, DISRUPTOR.

From 2006 to 2010, I founded and operated an eponymous fashion company designed outside the seasonal model, centered on manufacture at origin, artisan-led couture techniques, and long-life design—years before the industry developed language around sustainability. Since then, my work has evolved into design and systems consulting across fashion, hospitality, and real estate in the U.S., Latin America, and Europe.

Today, I advise brands, governments, and cultural organizations on redesigning production systems, supply chains, and economic frameworks within ecological limits. My work in Costa Rica focuses on regenerative, place-based models that treat sustainability as infrastructure rather than branding. I have contributed to international dialogues on fashion and climate, including work aligned with the Paris Agreement, and I speak globally on systems design, sustainability, and material culture.

I am the founder of Nomadic Collector, a Costa Rica–based luxury travel and luggage brand that functions as both product platform and systems laboratory—testing how fashion, mobility, and value creation can operate without extraction. I also write and speak through Polveriera, a contemporary salon for long-form thinking on power, design, and the architecture of modern systems.

My work focuses on redesigning systems that no longer serve the world they shape.
