OUR FOUNDER
ANDREA VILLEGAS
ABOUT ME
Fashion has been my passion since I received my first sewing machine at age seven. Today, I help brands bring ideas and concepts to life through creative direction, design, and product development.
I hold a degree from Istituto Marangoni (London & Milan), further studies in Barcelona, and I was awarded the Link Award in 2012 (Beachwear Category). My international career across Colombia, Europe, and the United States has given me a global perspective and the ability to lead multicultural teams in dynamic markets.
I have collaborated with brands including Johanna Ortiz, Andrea Iyamah, Dolcessa Swimwear, Salty Mermaid, Voight, Ricky Beach Club, Sea Salt, and Valentine NYC, among others. My work has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar and Sports Illustrated, and showcased at Miami Swim Week, The Edition Hotels, TAO Beach Las Vegas, and Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
As Founder and Creative Director of AV Studio, I focus on building purpose-driven, innovative brands and empowering women through design and storytelling. I work as a creative consultant supporting brands from concept through to product execution.
Start Your Brand Journey
After working with different brands, I’ve learned that you don’t necessarily need to be “inside the industry” to build successful projects. What matters more is having a voice of experience someone who can bring ideas together, shape strong concepts, and help build brands with purpose and a clear DNA.
In today’s highly competitive world of brands and products, the real challenge is creating identities that are not only visually strong, but also conceptually solid and technically well constructed.
This is why I’ve developed three consulting services designed to help you conceptualize and develop your brand from idea to identity, with a focus on clarity, strategy, and strong visual direction.
Creative Brand Consultancy
A tailored consulting service focused on shaping your brand vision, refining your concept, and defining a strong creative direction.
Each session is customized to your needs, allowing us to focus on the areas that matter most to your brand. Drawing on experience working with a wide range of brands, I provide insights into brand strategy, product development, collection building, positioning, and creative direction.
Together, we will explore your brand's DNA, product offering, visual identity, styling, and overall market relevance. Through discussion, feedback, and strategic guidance, we will refine your ideas and strengthen your brand vision.
A strong identity is what takes a brand to the next level. These sessions are designed to challenge, develop, and elevate your creative and business potential.
The Method Brand Consultancy
A six-week brand development program designed to build a clear, cohesive, and commercially viable brand. The Method consists of six personalized sessions, each focused on a core element of brand creationfrom strategy and positioning to product development and storytelling. Every session includes a 1-hour consultation, guided templates, and a review process to ensure each stage is fully developed and aligned with your brand vision.
At the end of the program, you'll receive a comprehensive Brand Development Document that brings together all six stages into a strategic and creative blueprint for your brand, providing a clear foundation for future growth. 6 weeks
