She braids her hair everyday as a Feminist Manifesto that resulted from her involvement in creating the first Mexican Delegation for the Women’s Forum for Economy and Society in France, presided by Salma Hayek.

She launched her line of scarves in October 2018, which she calls ‘Canvas’ given that this hair-accessory has given her the power to paint her own reality by having multiple alter-egos.

Among her most recent projects are ‘Once Upon a Canvas’, an interactive art installation that took place at Raw Pop-Up during Art Basel 2018 where she had mirror conversations with strangers as she braided their hair and explained how visual cues and daily-intentions have an immense power to shape self-perception.

Instant gratification has brought us to the space where we are at. To not think about the impact of the things we produce; of the shiny beautiful profiles we build for ourselves, deprived as can be of emotion or self-compassion because we don’t even give ourselves time to feel. We just make sure they look better. One day will have time to fix ourselves from inside. Let’s just make it pretty for now. But the time is now.

She has worked with brands such as Chanel, Valentino, The Webster, Tory Burch, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Alice and Olivia, Vizcaya, Isabel Marant, Citi Bank, and The Dalí Museum, and has been featured as a style icon in Elle USA, Allure, Nylon, W Magazine, Vogue México, In Style Latam, Miami Magazine, Indulge Magazine,the cover of Brickell Magazine, Racked and Who What Wear, among other media.

She also consults for brands who want to enter the Miami market. She has worked with Isabel Marant, Go Daddy and MasterCard Latin America and International among others.
