Maria Gamez / Prop Stylists + Set Design
I lived in Los Angeles for about 17 years and did mostly fashion shoots until we relocated to Texas. I was put to the test doing other types of styling such as watches for Fossil and NorthPark Center magazine, and jewelry for James Avery and Ylang 23. It was a challenge that got me out of my comfort zone and I loved it.
A few years back I decided to skydive and all my friends were talking about how they were not able to sleep the night be- fore, but I slept like a baby. A few minutes before it was my turn to jump I chickened out. Thankfully the gentleman I was tandem jumping with de- cided for me and we jumped. That summarizes how I handle things – first I go for it and then I worry about it.
I love to travel, cook, spend time with my family and friends, and make candles.
An African safari to see the amazing wildlife – while we still have a chance. See the Aurora Borealis. Get a table at Noma in Denmark.
I grew up in Cordoba, Southern Spain, but I’ve been in the USA for about 26 years.
