Ibeliz Guadalupe

Ibeliz Guadalupe grew up surrounded by the vibrant and inspiring richness of the Caribbean island of St. Croix. In 2007, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design with a minor in Art Therapy from the Columbus College of Art & Design. Soon after graduating, Ibeliz took a leap of faith and moved to New York City to follow her path. Her work experience across multiple brands have provided her with the necessary expertise to excel in fast-paced environment while maintaining the attention to detail that is required for a creative lead. With yoga as her oasis in the midst of city life, Ibeliz forged the core value of work-life balance and in 2015 she returned to Columbus with a newfound perspective.

Proving her skills, time and time again in patternmaking, draping, print, fashion graphics and painting she continues to grow into a well-rounded multi disciplinary designer. She is inspired by the shapes and colors that coexist in nature and our connection to the world with a strong belief that we are all responsible for the impact we have on our planet. Her intention is to create sustainable and eco-friendly clothing that have a minimal impact on the earth and its oceans. In her spare time she enjoys traveling and hiking.

Ibeliz currently resides in Columbus where she creates beauty in the world by blending her loves of fine art, fashion design and movement based yoga. You can find her downtown making one-of-a-kind creations while sipping iced hazelnut coffee in her shared studio space at Blockfort or leading group and private yoga classes downtown and retreats across the nation. She escapes it all by finding grounding; taking trips to the Caribbean and meditative journeys.
