I am Miguel Maldonado, born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Since the beginning of my career, fashion has been both my passion and my guide. I graduated in 2003 with a degree in Fashion Design and Marketing from CEDIM (Centro de Estudios Superiores de Diseño de Monterrey), which marked the start of a career spanning over two decades in the fashion world, working across various countries and with international projects.

My career began as a fashion stylist for advertising campaigns and fashion catalogs, collaborating with renowned photographer Elías Terrazas between 2000 and 2004. During this period, I refined my skills and developed a unique style that allowed me to evolve and take on new challenges in the fashion industry.

In 2005, I moved to Barcelona, Spain, to pursue a master’s degree in Styling, Image, and Communication at EATM / ESDI (Escuela Superior de Diseño). It was there that I expanded my knowledge of the industry and worked on creating costumes for the Verónica Pallini Theater School – Porta4. During this time, I also maintained my own client portfolio, offering image consulting services and working as a personal shopper, which allowed me to establish a solid base of work in Europe.

In 2012, I took a summer course at the Catalan Institute of Fashion (ICM) in Window Dressing and Visual Merchandising, which helped me gain a more integrated approach to design and enhance my ability to create effective visual strategies.

My career took a new turn in 2015 when I moved to Berlin, Germany, where I founded my own company as a fashion stylist and personal shopper. Since then, I have worked with brands and creatives from various industries, providing strategic and communication consulting to strengthen their images and positioning in the market.

In 2025, together with my husband, I founded Mi/Ma 79, a multidisciplinary agency based in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Our agency stands out for balancing creativity with the conceptualization of innovative communication strategies in the fields of fashion, art, and design. Through Mi/Ma 79, we offer comprehensive solutions that range from image and style development to the creation of visual and conceptual communication campaigns.

My experience has allowed me to collaborate with international teams and renowned designers, photographers, and creatives, always with the goal of providing communication and styling solutions that make an impact, inspire, and connect with the audience. My passion for fashion and dedication to my work have taken me to live and work in different countries, including Mexico, Spain, and Germany, and now in Playa del Carmen, where we continue with our vision to transform brands with fresh, cutting-edge ideas.

My approach is always to create unique strategies tailored to each client and project, aiming to highlight their essence and create a lasting impact.
