SOMETHING YOU WOULD NEVER WEAR TO THE BEACH? A frown. The beach
is my ultimate happy place. There’s an unparalleled sense of freedom and joy that the beach brings. Something about the endless horizon, the sound of the waves, and the warmth of the sun instantly lifts my spirits. It’s a place where I can be fully present, let go of worries, and simply enjoy the beauty of the moment.

 

POOLSIDE OR BEACH? Beach or bust.

 

TELL US ABOUT YOUR LATEST COLLECTION. It’s all about crochet pieces handmade in Medellin, Colombia. Each piece tells a story of the artisan who meticulously created it, making it not just swimwear but a piece of wearable art. I love how crochet can be both delicate and durable, offering a comfortable fit that molds to the body while providing a breathable and airy feel, perfect for a day at the beach.

 

ONE PIECE OR A BIKINI? Bikini — less is more!

 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TRAVEL DESTINATION? St. Barths! My grandparents bought a house on the island over 30 years ago before it was the luxury, celebrity-infused hot spot it’s known for today. Now, I live as a local there and I travel twice a year during the off-season. My favorite beaches are the natural beaches such as Saline, Colombier, and Gouverneur. From the knickknacks in the island boutiques to the surrounding nature, the inspiration on this paradise island feels endless.
