Hola! My name is Allie Vargas.

 

This is me formally and informally introducing myself. I do not always possess the confidence to be front and center, but have been waaaay more comfortable being behind the scenes. As I launch my new business, I am ready for the change; for this necessary and wanted change. I am first generation American-Peruvian, was mainly raised in Florida and Peru. My years in Peru marked me in the most fantastic way! Food, history, architecture, and nature have been very prevalent throughout my entire life. I will forever love my Peru.

As a child I had the opportunities to be around colonial structures in Peru and when I visited my family in Florida I always begged my aunt and grandma to drives to any and all open houses, we would sometimes go into 4-5 houses per visit. The daydreaming and sensation I felt whenever I walked into an open house, pretending that I was the maker of that house made such an impact in me, I didn’t realize how much until it was time for me to figure out what I wanted to do for a living. Design and Art History really took hold of me when I was 19. As my career progressed, so did my curiosities to explore extensions of design and creative direction. I did unfortunately have to take several pauses throughout my twenties, my health periodically failed me and I am not gonna lie…it definitely took an emotional toll on me, so much so that I gave up on any possibilities of moving forward within the design world.

Enter photography. The art of storytelling through a single picture was so powerful, the ability to capture and making a single moment timeless was a new sense of encouragement that I found liberating. It was 2017 when I was sitting at my desk working for a company where I was just completely miserable, CLARITY struck! For the first time in my entire life I had a clear goal: To build a business, a studio that could encapsulate Interior Design and Photography. It definitely took me many years after that to finally get the courage to set aside my string of jobs at other firms. Quarantine made me take a hard look at how good I was at procrastinating; always those thoughts of self-doubt and questioning your ability to succeed or fail. So, I finally went for it.

I could not be more excited to begin this new endevour and hopefully get to hear from you.
