YO SOY MIA is a play on words... in Spanish It means " I AM MINE"  or " I AM MIA". I founded YSM with a vision to build something ROOTED in creative  FREEDOM - a platform to design and share my creations without borders or limitations.

 

​I AM guided by life, family, culture, a passion for creativity,  professional training, and continuous education. All my life I have been surrounded by art and creativity. It's all complimented by my journey of  Fashion and tailoring education, a degree in business, an initiated indigenous medicine woman, and a certified licensed Reiki and Energy Body work practitioner. For over 25 years I have facilitated women's circle's, expressive arts workshops, children and adults art classes/workshops, and have creatively combined my training and skills as a transformational partner.

 

Fueled by a lifelong passion for art, culture, women empowerment, and spirituality, I transform creativity into a living practice of connection and healing.  Art becomes a bridge between tradition,  and modern expression, personal truth and collective strength. It's inspiring seeing others - especially WOMEN create BOLDLY, HONOR OUR STORIES WITHOUT FEAR, & RECLAIM POWER COURAGEOUSLY through a creative platform!

​

​I have had the honor to showcase my art and fashion collections at galleries, showrooms, and corporate events, as well as Art Basel Miami, Bronx Fashion week, New York Fashion week, Atlantic City Fashion week, and have exhibited domestically and internationally.

 

Life is Art as Art is Life. ​I look forward to growing and exploring an unlimited creative journey through LIFE!.  ​
