Hi, my name is Michele, and I create characters through costume design.
I was born in Mexico and raised by an amazing multicultural family who came  from different corners of Mexico and the world, so at an early age I was exposed to different languages, cultures and food. I'm fluent in Spanish, English, Italian and French.
I studied Fashion Design in Rome, Italy at the Istituto Europeo de Design and worked in the fashion industry as a head designer for a  pronto moda firm in Rome before and after I graduated. While in Rome, I had the opportunity to design costumes for a small film directed by Mauro Borrelli. I enjoyed so much creating characters and story telling through Costume Design, that it became my passion. This led to my first official position as wardrobe costumer on Francis Ford Coppola’s, “The Godfather: Part III at Cinecitta Studios.

I have designed and illustrated costumes for many successful films, popular television shows, and commercials, contemporary, period and futuristic.  Over the years, I've had the honor to work with wonderfully talented actors and directors, some times more than once.
