My fascination with sleepwear began around age nine when I discovered my mother’s meticulously curated collection of exquisite European nightgowns and lingerie. Playing dress up in her silk embroidered nightdresses and glamorous robes became my favorite pastime.

I became so obsessed with sleepwear that I asked for it for every birthday. I began collecting pajamas which I would then transform into pieces uniquely my own. With the skilled hands of a trusted seamstress, Graciela, those pajamas became a canvas for my creativity, reimagined and fitting perfectly, just for me.

Rooted deeply in my Latin American heritage, my mother and grandmother introduced me to the language of beautiful sleepwear. Wearing their elegantly coordinated three-piece sets- nightgown, robe and slippers- my mother and grandmother celebrated the essence of special occasions and the beauty of the everyday, creating a poignant narrative of memories and emotions that would thoroughly shape my journey.

Running warm baths for me and laying out fresh, crisp pairs of pajamas was my mother’s cherished tradition, echoing a ritual her own mother had handed to her. It was in those small but significant moments that I learned the importance of comfort, beauty, and the intimate connection between clothing and our sense of self.

My cherished memories, the deep love for my family, and the profound connection to the comfort of pajamas are the threads that have created the fabric of my life's work.

They inspire me every day to embrace creativity and authenticity.

Now, through books and creativity workshops, I will focus on sharing the journey of how I gave shape to my entrepreneurial dreams and hopefully inspire others to bring their own creative ideas and projects to life.

As I ventured off to university with my treasured pajamas in tow, I was dismayed to discover that nobody else cared for pretty pjs. But that disappointment revealed the opportunity and there, in my dorm room, I had my AHA moment: I would create a line of beautiful sleepwear that allowed women to feel authentically themselves.

After graduation, instead of pursuing pjs, I followed the bandwagon to Wall Street, putting my pajama dream on hold. But the striving for conventional success quickly left me unfulfilled.

My soul yearned for authenticity and creativity, urging me to embark on a new path- one that truly ignited my heart.

After years of dreaming about entrepreneurship and pajamas, my business partner, Mariela Rovito, and I gave birth to Eberjey - a sleepwear brand that celebrated comfort, beauty, and confidence, reflecting the very essence of my passions.
