Lima, Perú is where my story begins, where I learned the timeless values of hard work, curiosity, and positivity from my wonderful parents. But what truly fills my heart with light? Being a mom to my two lovely daughters and my son – they're my world, my greatest blessings.
In 1992, my husband Alejandro and I took a leap of faith, founding TRAZZO Lighting together. It's been a labor of love ever since. Fast forward to 2020, and with a heart full of passion and determination, we made the bold decision to expand our dream to Miami, spreading our light to new places.
So, that's a little about me – a mom, a lighting designer, and an entrepreneur. And with every project, I pour my heart into not just illuminating spaces, but brightening lives with warmth and joy
As Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “Light is the beautifier of the building” It's this belief in the transformative power of light that drives me, understanding that good light isn't just an option – it's a necessity.
From Louis Kahn's notion that 'Architecture is the thoughtful making of spaces,' to Zaha Hadid's vision that 'Architecture is really about well-being,' I've learned that lighting plays a pivotal role in shaping how we perceive and experience these spaces.
Traveling has always been my thing. There's just something magical about exploring new cities, meeting new people, and collecting stories along the way. It's my favorite way to unwind and recharge.
Fashion is my way of expressing myself. Whether I'm scouting unique pieces abroad or browsing the latest trends in Miami, fashion always adds a little extra sparkle to my day.
Miami is like a second home to me. There's just something about Miami's vibe that makes me feel in my place– the energy, the people, the whole shebang. As you browse through my corner of the web, I hope you're inspired to embrace life's pleasures and find joy in the little things. Cheers to that.
