SWIPE AND SWAP

FOUNDER

It started in late 2024—three DJ gigs, one weekend, and a wardrobe crisis. Overflowing closet, zero inspiration. Instead of buying something new, I sold two pieces and bought one. That lit a fire: what if we could simply swap outfits like friends sharing closets?

Getting dressed should feel creative, not chaotic. I didn’t need more stuff. I needed a smarter system. Something that fuels self-expression while being eco- and budget-conscious.

 Whether we’re stepping onto a stage or strolling down the street, we deserve to show up as our boldest, truest selves. Xchange Fashion isn’t just solving a wardrobe dilemma—it’s sparking a movement of mindful choices and authentic connection.

I’ve always been obsessed with fashion and am wired to solve real-world problems. In 2020, I built an on-site ordering app intended to help the service industry survive the pandemic. Now, I’m channeling that energy into designing a platform where style meets sustainability, and everyone gets to shine.

COMMUNITY & EVENTS LEADER

I'm a San Francisco-based visual artist, fashion collaborator, and creative director with over a decade of experience bridging fine art, fashion, and community-based design. A first-generation Chicana and founder of ChinatownMade, I bring a distinct lens of cultural fusion and visual storytelling rooted in my practice of mestizaje—an exploration of mixed identities through symbolism and semiotics.

My creative career spans roles as art director at gaming studio, creative director at Berber SF, and cofounder of an art-tech platform. My design and curatorial work includes large-scale public art projects, immersive exhibitions, and community-driven fashion events.

My work has been commissioned by clients across hospitality, retail, and tech—from mural installations in luxury casinos to fashion-forward visual campaigns.

Through every project, I advocate for equity, visibility, and the power of design as a tool for cultural expression and collective liberation.

CREATIVE & BEAUTY STYLIST

With a background in fashion and interior design studies, my creative journey began with styling my own hair—and quickly expanded to friends, clients, and eventually a full-time career in bridal beauty.

For me, hair isn’t just styling—it’s sculpture, a form of wearable art that transforms how someone feels inside and out.

I've done hair and makeup for runway shows, live performances, editorial shoots, and headshots, often blending music, theatre, and fashion into immersive productions. One standout project was a play exploring diverse interpretations of fashion—a perfect reflection of my belief that style is deeply personal and expressive.

Consistent with Xchange Fashion’s commitment to sustainability and circular style, I see the platform as a powerful way to reduce waste and celebrate individuality. I'm passionate about helping women feel empowered and radiant through fashion, hair, and makeup—always aiming to bring out the best version of each person I work with.
