Hello there!
I'm Marinha, a Senior Textile and Fashion Designer originally from A Coruña and currently based in the U.S.
After finishing my Fine Arts High School, I moved to Barcelona to pursue a degree in Arts & Design. My passion for the intersection between fashion, art, and illustration led me to join the Inditex Group as a Graphic Textile Designer.
Over the years, I evolved into a coordination role, eventually becoming the manager of the Women's Graphic Department. Those years were filled with creativity, illustration, team leadership, trend research, and international inspiration trips.
After three years in that position, I decided to take the next step in my career and transition fully into fashion design. I spent seven years at Bershka, deepening my skills in fashion and textile design, and later joined the ZARA Kids team as a Senior Designer for the girls' line. There, I led the design direction for the outerwear department, working closely on product development, trend research, and international sourcing. This role involved extensive travel for development and shopping trips, and was key in shaping my growth as a designer.
In mid-2024, I moved to the United States to start a new chapter as Design Manager at Cult Gaia, where I’ve been working since then.
With over ten years of experience in fashion and retail, I bring a solid background in design, coordination, and product creation.
Travelling, art, books, Bauhaus, and avocado toasts — that’s me in a nutshell.
