La Incubadora Creativa presenta con mucho orgullo como Creativa del Mes en nuestro portal a Flor Delgado de Ni|BEACHWEAR quien es egresada de nuestro Programa de Inmersión.

Además llegó a semifinalista del concurso Enterprize del Grupo Guayacán para recibir una aportación económica para continuar el desarrollo de Ni|BEACHWEAR , por
lo cual la felicitamos, esperamos que llegue a la ronda final y sea una de las ganadoras. A continuación conozcamos a Flor en sus propias palabras y también para escucharla en un vídeo favor de pulsar aquí.
I’m 28. I was born and raised in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. Studied Business Administration at the University of Puerto Rico Rico and then Fashion Marketing at Parsons the New School for Design. I lived in New York, Miami and moved back to Mayagüez to start Ni|BEACHWEAR. I’m a huge animal lover and my happy place is in Rincón. I love reading either business books or biographies. Strong believer in never stopping learning about new things and trying to live life as consciously as possible.
Ni|BEACHWEAR is a sustainable, luxury brand that combines beachwear with resortwear to create versatile pieces. We focus on a sophisticated minimalist design, inspired by the authentic island life of Puerto Rico. We’ve aimed to create
a brand that’s luxury ethical fashion, by keeping sustainability and design at the core.
We design and manufacture everything in Puerto Rico and use fabrics printed by local artisan. We’ve also committed part of our proceeds from every sale to donate to Colitas Sonrientes Inc. to help Puerto Rico’s homeless animals.
Ni|BEACHWEAR’s designs are minimalistic in nature with a luxurious, laid-back aesthetic. It’s meant to be effortless and unique at the same time.

To intern with startups and well-established companies. From start ups you learn a lot about running a business and what it takes to grow a new brand with little resources. From a well-established brand you learn to think in a global perspective, determine where your aspirations for your brand are and chase them, it can be done.
