“ When the colors, textures, and scents envelop your guest…It’s magic”
A second-generation designer, I inherited a blazing passion for elegance in creative artistry. From an early age, I focused my designs on capturing the beauty and style of the moment.
I attribute my eye for design to a unique background. As a little girl growing up in Argentina, I worked in the upscale flower shop owned and operated by my mom, who became an extraordinary floral wedding designer. Over several years at her side, I learned not only the techniques for creating the most beautiful floral arrangements, but also a special passion for events, social gathering…and brides.
During college, I continued to create the ultimate designs and décor. After receiving my bachelor’s in graphic design, I worked on producing stylish, creative designs for businesses. I designed materials for print, multimedia, and the web, as well as in marketing, promoting, advertising and packaging. I also designed and directed company gatherings at conferences, conventions and social events. With more than 12 years of experience as the corporate marketing communications director for a global manufacturing company, I mentored and directed creative teams of graphic artists, writers, photographers and production companies and traveled the world searching for innovative style and design trends to inspire new creations.
All throughout my education and career, I dreamed of opening my own company. However, it wasn’t until after adopting my second child that I decided to finally pursue my dream by starting Sweet Ribbon Events.
Sweet Ribbon will handle everything on the creative side of your event, performing the work of multiple creative vendors to make your occasion truly special and unforgettable. At Sweet Ribbon, our mission is providing the event planner and the bride with creative solutions for their events: specialty linens, floral arrangements, graphic design for invitations and stationery, event production and much, much more.
I love what I do, and I’m happy to share my creative skills with you as I design your wonderful day and imagine it through your eyes. So, give me your ideas then, together, we’ll create the perfect design to bring your vision to life, full of beautiful colors, textures, aromas and visual details. With Sweet Ribbon at your side, we can make your wedding, social, or corporate occasion a time to remember for years to come.
