Welcome!
My name is Xiomara Ortiz
I am an artist and designer with a diverse background in the garment and textile industry. Since 2013, I have worked as a textile designer, specializing in print design for fashion and home brands. My experience also includes fashion design, fashion styling, and over nine seasons at New York Fashion Week as a design associate and stylist. Alongside my sister, Paula, I co-founded the design studio Xio & Paula. Today I work with multiple fashion and home companies based in NYC creating original artworks and designs.
My Colombian heritage influence my natural aesthetic, which is feminine, vibrant, and inspired by color. While I design with the market and target customer in mind, my process is intuitive and organic. I intend for my work to bring joy, beauty, and blessings to the clients who commission it, as well as to those who wear or live with the items I create!
