At my desk. Design, marketing and all things creative are what I love most about my job. Although, as an entrepreneur, you have to juggle lots of different hats and be able to fluidly pivot from one area of the business to another whether it is sales, customer service, production, accounting, & operations, etc.
Paris - my favorite city, ripe with inspiration and where it all began.
ASHA is a nickname that was given to me by my Cuban grandparents as a child. They had a profound influence on me, and as first generation immigrants they taught me the values of hard work, education and a passion for culture and history.
Greenwich is where I call home even though I have lived in NYC, Miami, Washington D.C., Florence & Paris. Some years after graduating from Greenwich Academy & Georgetown, I found my way back to this beautiful enclave. It’s a joy to be raising my daughter, Annabel, here and running ASHA from Greenwich Avenue. Even though we have factories & artisans in different parts of the world - from Florence & Thailand, to NYC and Argentina, it’s wonderful to be based in my hometown.
At home. I love mixing classic and modern accents while keeping things clean & fresh.
Our cigar band in navy enamel & white topaz shot in the garden - I translate the same classic-modern vibes into my designs.
Our sun-filled "Penthouse" on Greenwich Avenue doubles as ASHA's creative headquarters and storefront. It's a window into our world and a place to preview and shop all our of our collections, which include fashion jewelry, fine jewelry and handbags.
The three generations in ASHA. My mom is my best friend and muse, and has shown me what it is to be a successful working woman. I hope to do the same for my daughter, Annabel.
One of my mood boards. From Marrakech to the islands, flowers and Moorish influences...some of the things that inspire me.
A handful of fashion & fine charms that can be mixed & matched.
Redefining Classics. Classic, fresh & feminine are some of the adjectives that come to mind when describing ASHA. My designs recall the classics but with a clean, modern approach that is enjoyed by women of all ages.

Me & my team. Speaking of amazing women - I've been smart about surrounding myself with incredible women who have helped me build this business. Stay tuned to learn more about each of them and how their skill sets have created the perfect team.
