HERE MY STORY

 
Venezuelan Born.2011
Live by the Sun
Love by the moon

I still remember the moment everything began.

While finishing high school in Venezuela, I started selling bikinis from other brands. What began as something small quickly turned into a passion a vision of creating something of my own.

With time, I shared this dream with my mom, Adela.  my best friend, my partner, and the person who has supported every idea, every risk, and every dream I’ve ever had. Together, we decided to build something meaningful: ARI SWIMWEAR.

The journey wasn’t easy.
I faced setbacks, trusted the wrong people, and struggled to find the right hands to bring my designs to life.

But I didn’t stop.

Driven by the desire to see my own name on every piece, I kept going — creating swimsuits designed to each client’s taste, unique and exclusive.

Step by step, ARI SWIMWEAR became more than a brand.
It became a reflection of resilience, passion, and identity.

With the support of a dear friend, I began showing the brand in surf and paddle events, becoming part of a lifestyle not just fashion, but a way of living.

Today, every piece tells a story.


Then, everything started to shift.

With the help of a dear friend, I introduced the brand into the world of surf and paddle becoming part of events, sponsoring competitions, and connecting with a lifestyle that felt authentic and free.

And then… I did it.

I graduated from university.
And my final project was my brand. my swimsuits, my vision, my story.

That’s when I realized this was never just about bikinis.

It’s about confidence.
It’s about identity.
It’s about creating something that makes you feel your most beautiful, natural self.

ARI SWIMWEAR is not just what you wear.
It’s what you feel.



A part of me that continues to grow, evolve, and come to life with every piece I create for you.

Then, life took me to Panama.

A new place, a new chapter, and a new opportunity to keep building my dream. For a year, I worked on ARI SWIMWEAR there living an experience that shaped me both personally and professionally.

I became part of the surf community, sponsoring competitions and connecting even deeper with the lifestyle that inspires my brand: freedom, movement, and the ocean.

And through it all, I was never alone.

I have a dear friend, Dais someone who has always believed in me, guided me, and filled this journey with ideas and support. Distance has never changed that. Some connections are simply meant to last.


 

It was an incredible experience.
I discovered a beautiful country, its culture, and its people moments that will always stay with me.

Then, life changed again.

In 2016, I moved to the United States and had to start over rebuilding, redefining, and finding my path once more.

I have fallen many times.
And I have risen every single time.

I continue to pursue what I love, what I believe in, what I dream about.
And if you are reading this, I hope my story reminds you of something important:

Never stop believing in yourself.
Take as long as you need — just don’t stop.

While building my new life in the U.S., I continued working, growing, and sharing ARI SWIMWEAR through my social media step by step, staying connected to my vision.

Along the way, I met my husband, Andrew, in Miami — someone who has supported me and believed in me. A person I deeply admire.

And through it all, life gave me my greatest blessing.

I became a mother.

Since 2019, I have grown not only as a woman and entrepreneur but as a mother of two, learning, evolving, and building a life with even more purpose.

ARI SWIMWEAR is a reflection of that journey.
Of strength, growth, love, and resilience.

Thank you for being part of it.
