Background Story

Elena moved to Miami in 2016 after completing her fashion design degree in Medellín. Initially working as a seamstress in a Miami boutique, she built her personal styling business through Instagram and word-of-mouth. Her bilingual fashion blog focusing on affordable style for working mothers has gained 50K+ followers. She met her Cuban-American husband Carlos at a salsa class, and they have a 6-year-old daughter, Sofia. Elena's styling philosophy centers on making every woman feel confident regardless of budget, drawing from both Colombian flair and American practicality. She dreams of opening her own boutique featuring Latin American designers.
