Miamified Swimwear was born from a lifelong love of the ocean and a journey of self-discovery. Growing up surfing in Daytona Beach, the water was my escape, my passion, and my home. But when I moved away for college at the University of Central Florida, life pulled me away from the waves. After earning my business degree and securing a corporate job, I bought my first home at 22, but life took an unexpected turn when I lost my father in 2021. His passing deeply affected me, and I realized I needed a fresh start.

In 2022, I sold my house and moved to South Florida, where I found myself modeling swimwear for brands. However, after months of creating content for others with little in return, I had a realization—why not create my own swim line? With my background in surfing, I knew exactly what made a swimsuit both stylish and functional. I sketched designs, researched manufacturers, and brought my vision to life.

As I embraced the vibrant Miami lifestyle, someone told me I had been "Miamified"—a transformation that perfectly reflected my journey. That moment sparked the name: Miamified Swimwear. More than just a brand, it represents confidence, boldness, and the freedom to chase your dreams. From designing my first collection to competing in bikini contests wearing my own creations, Miamified Swimwear is the embodiment of passion, resilience, and reinvention. Welcome to the Miamified movement—where every piece is made for those who dare to stand out.
