Like a double shot of espresso - or cortadito-  Carolina's energy is unmistakeable. Never one to turn down an opportunity to hop on a plane, attend a last-minute black tie gala or whip up a dinner party for 20; this global nomad has mastered the art of collecting memories, not things.

With a passion for travel, design and all things jet-set, Carolina found her perfect match in the boom of the sharing economy- where homes and hotels and work and play all blurred lines. Today, Carolina specializes in consulting across public relations, marketing and digital media with clients ranging from real estate, hospitality, travel, art, and health + wellness.

The born and bred Miami girl relocated to Cape Town in 2018 to launch the first Design Hotel™  Gorgeous George,  and since then shifted her focus to launching brands across Africa and the Middle East while still holding a tight grip to the US of A and of course, Miami. 

In 2020, she co-founded  Happy Go Lucky , a creative agency to further service her clients and bridge the gap between brand, comms strategy and guest experience. Services include interior design concept + ideation, sourcing and procurement and staging and styling to name a few. To date, Happy Go Lucky has opened a number of award-winning hotels across the Middle East, Africa and Saudi Arabia including the first hotel to open in the Ashar valley, Habitas Alula .

Carolina holds a Post Grad in Global Luxury Marketing from New York University and a B.A. in Mass Communications from Florida International University. When she's not connecting the dots with brands + people Carolina is also a freelance writer, often contributing to blogs, city guides and travel platforms including The Observer, A Hotel Life, Suitcase Magazine and Fathom sharing a page from her little black book of personal travels and lifestyle. Born and raised in Miami, Florida with Colombian heritage, Carolina is fluent in English, Spanish and Italian.
