am an alternative profes- sional model and performer who was born in the UK, was raised in Spain and is now based in Edinburgh.


I have worked with some awe- some designers such as Bibian Blue, Maya Hansen, Anna Tor- rent, Carlo Franco, Felicia, Revue Vintage and some amazing pho- tographers and have been pub- lished in numerous magazines, books and CDs.


At the moment I am still model- ling but I am concentrating on some personal aspects of my life, such as turning into a mum-to-be and finishing my first profession- al range of alternative t-shirts, women’s, men’s and kids’ wear in all custom, handmade designs. I have been into all sorts of body mod for as long as I can remember. I had my first piercing at the age of 13 on my navel and I had many afterwards: nose, lips, tongue, brow, nipples and ears, although most of them have been removed by now.


My first tattoo was a huge mis- take. I had it done when I was 19; it’s on the right side of my tummy
