Alex’s fashion career began at the Academy of Art University in San Fransisco, where she graduated with a BFA in Fashion Design. Throughout her education at the Academy she learned a diverse range of skills including: patternmaking, garment/accessory/footwear construction, technical flat sketches, leather work, CLO3D, and Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop. At the Academy she also learned the value of teamwork, clear communication, organization, independence, and having an optimistic  attitude.

Through her education Alex experimented and rediscovered her love for leather and the western aesthetic. Alex is very inspired by her Mexican heritage and many of her projects feature personal connections to her family’s dairy farm in Mexico. 

After graduation, Alex became a design intern at Rabôt in Los Angeles. She was introduced to the fashion industry and quickly learned how to apply her skills to new challenges. Through Rabôt, Alex was introduced to Show Me Your Mumu where she currently works as an assistant designer and product developer.
