Who We Are

Meet the Unapologetic Chaos Overlord of Ink y Hilo

Hi. I’m a mom of seven — six kids on earth, one angel baby in charge, and zero patience left. My house isn’t a home… it’s a battlefield with snacks.

People ask, “How do you do it?”
Easy. I don’t.
I’m simply out here raw-dogging life with caffeine, sarcasm, and the lingering scream of “MOOOOOM” echoing through my skull.

My angel baby is my quiet strength — the one who made me fight harder, love fiercer, and tolerate slightly less nonsense from the rest of these tiny humans.

I’m a homebody who hasn’t actually been home since the day I volunteered as a soccer coach “for fun” and accidentally became a permanent sports staff member.
I coach soccer.
I coach cheer.
I coach every meltdown within a five-mile radius.
I am the unpaid athletic director of chaos.

As a special-needs mom, my life is a color-coded, doctor-approved roller coaster with no brakes. I navigate emotions, appointments, forms, therapies, and sensory emergencies like a Navy SEAL with a messy bun.

Ink y Hilo is the only reason this entire operation hasn’t caught fire… recently.
It’s where I turn my stress into stitches, my chisme into color palettes, and my blood, sweat, and tears into merch bold enough to scare your tía.

My studio vibe?
50% creativity
50% “don’t touch that or you’ll lose a finger”
100% unhinged Latina mom energy
(Yes, the math is wrong. So are my kids.)

Every piece is made with corazón, cultura, and just a sprinkle of “please don’t ask me for anything else today.”
If you find glitter on your order, congratulations — you’ve been blessed by the fairy of chaos. Non-refundable.

Thanks for supporting my business, my madness, and the barely controlled wildfire I call a life.
Without you, I’d be yelling “STOP FIGHTING OR I’M SELLING YOU ON FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE” into the void.
