VanderRose: Fashion, Editorial & Creative Production
A multi-disciplinary fashion and media brand spanning editorial, runway, product design, photography, and live creative production.

I lead the end-to-end creative process—from concept development and visual direction to execution, production, and final delivery across all channels.
Editorial & Magazine
I designed and published VanderRose Magazine, leading the creative direction, editorial layout, cover design, and visual storytelling. This work required balancing artistic vision with production execution, ensuring each issue was cohesive, polished, and ready for distribution.
Over 40 issues have been published and artists from across the US, Latin America, Europe and Asia have been featured.
Runway & Live Production
VanderRose runway presentations combine fashion design with narrative-driven production. I have designed and executed runway shows featuring up to 17 models, including a themed presentation at Zepfest 2025 where VanderRose was awarded Best Designer.
Our work has also been featured at New York Fashion Week at Gotham Hall, with runway photography distributed through Getty Images. These productions required coordination across models, photographers, venues, and creative teams to deliver a seamless live experience.
Fashion & Product Design
In addition to runway and editorial work, I design original garments and luxury accessories. This includes the creation of two fashion scarves developed from collage-based photography and transformed into textile designs, blending visual storytelling with wearable design.
Photography & Visual Storytelling
I create and edit original visual content across editorial, fashion, red carpet, and event environments. My work includes concept development, photography, image retouching, and preparing final assets for publishing and marketing use.
Creative Community & Events
VanderRose also functions as a platform for creative collaboration. We host events that bring together photographers, models, and creatives to build portfolios, produce content, and develop their work in a structured, supportive environment.
These events require both creative direction and operational coordination, ensuring high-quality output while supporting community growth.
