My own nose did not escape unwelcome attention in my youth and despite this rather brief moment in time, it left an impression. Years later, as I began sewing figures in the same tradition of my family’s fabric puppets, this sensitive feature posed a new challenge. It was not easy to make. In fact, of all the parts of the face, the nose demanded the most attention and dexterity to create. Shaping a slow and steady stream of bulbous forms, I wondered, Would I represent the bump that caused me grief? As I scoured through photos of my beloved noses – the ones who shared the bump and those who shared in the smells of home – a feeling emerged; belonging.

Each soft cotton form in shades of brown and olive, each interrupted slope and embroidered nostril offered me a tenderness I had not offered my own nose before. Soon all I saw were links: to my ancestors, my Colombian heritage, my intuition, my memories and the emotions they awoke. It was a magical portal to my life and all the experiences and people that formed me.

When I sit with a collector, and ultimately their nose, I do so with great care and humility. My Nose Jobs serve as reminders. To breathe deeper, slower, to savor the smell of the ocean breeze, to honor the many ways it connects us to ourselves and others.

While we ain't gonna knock ears or eyes, we’re inordinately glad to have both, noses are —-point of intersection , strongest sense, literally at the center of our faces and our identities.

We like to have fun. At the heart of this project is the idea that instead of reconfiguring the physical shape of your nose, you’re reconstructing your relationship to it. It’s about playing with perspective—because the lens through which we see ourselves, each other, and the world has the power to shift everything. When you reframe your connection to something as central and symbolic as the nose, it can open up deeper layers of self-awareness, connection, and even joy.

Each nose varies in size but is generally 10 -20% larger than the real deal being honored.
