A Personal Note

If you’re here, thank you. It means I consider you someone with vision — someone who believes in me and the possibility of creating meaningful, beautiful things in the world.

I am now building ATINA NYC. A deeply considered, high-quality footwear line that feels as good as it looks.

As you might know, this isn’t my first rodeo. I’ve spent years developing and self-funding my ventures, learning through hands-on experience, and staying deeply involved in every detail.

I’ve also realized that meaningful accomplishments are rarely achieved alone. This project is very special to me, and for the first time, I want to open it to those who have supported me over the years, inviting them to join me on this journey. Below, you’ll find an overview of what I’m creating and the opportunity involved.

A DECADE OF RESEARCH, RESILIENCE, AND REFINEMENT.

Private Founder Circle Invitation

You’re Invited

For more than a decade, I have dedicated myself to innovation in women's footwear — how it feels, how it moves, and how it might better serve women's lives. ATINA ÑYC is the evolution of that work — and the kind of footwear I wish to see in the world.

Luxury footwear shaped by movement, comfort, and enduring craftsmanship.

Over the past months, I have been in Spain developing ATINA ÑYC alongside artisans and factories with generations of shoemaking history to create quality, deeply considered footwear that feels as good as it looks. I’ve invested in trademarks and am pursuing patents for proprietary shoe construction I developed with my partners in Spain.

I am opening a small private Founder Circle for a limited group of friends and supporters interested in participating in this early chapter.
