Born in Italy, the daughter of a Spanish mother and Apulian father, she spent her childhood growing up between Italy and Spain.

Her passion for fashion and footwear was already visible from an early age, when she spent time, together with her grandmother, at the family tailoring atelier in Bilbao.

After graduating in the History of Footwear and Design, she moved to Florence, where she attended the Polimoda Institute, and obtained a master's degree in Footwear and Accessories’Design.

Driven by intense curiosity, during her studies, she spent most of her time in a laboratory, deconstructing and reconstructing footwear, creating new shapes and silhouettes.

The fruit of these experiments permitted her to participate in a number of international art and fashion exhibitions; and to win prestigious competitions and prizes, such as the International Competition for Young Shoe Designers, organized by the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum.

An internship spent with a well-known, Florentine craftsman enabled her to thoroughly study the diverse types of shoe construction techniques, and refine manual, Italian techniques in luxury men's footwear.

Her first step into the fashion industry began with the Aquazzura brand, where she became the coordinator and right-hand of the brand’s founder and creative director for several years.

In 2013, driven by various, upward, career opportunities, Patrizia moved to Milan, and began her current profession as a consultant.

She started to collaborate with various, national and international brands including: Aperlai Paris, Roger Vivier, Salvatore Ferragamo, Zara Woman, Roberto Cavalli and See by Chloè.
