Personal story

In Venezuela Alejandra used to work on television as a designer. When one of her friends proposed her to move to Spain, she decided to give it a try. She took a vacation from her work in Venezuela and came to Spain for 3 months. She ended up liking her life there and decided to stay.

At first, she was working as a waitress, an office worker, a call centre manager, hence doing jobs that had nothing in common with her career in Venezuela.

However, with all of her previous experience as a fashion designer on TV and in her studio, she always wanted to start her on business. She was pursuing this direction for a while, sending her CV to various designers, but due to her irregular status the responses were always negative.

When she finally got her work permit and it seemed like everything could start rolling, other areas of her life got complicated.

Alejandra knows that the fashion world is very complicated and very closed, so she decided to start small, making clothes for children and teenagers at home, using her own sewing machine. She also teaches sewing classes and workshops.

She creates her own patterns and loves to use bright, eye-catching colours. However, over time she learned to use and combine all colours.
