With a client roster featuring some of the world’s biggest brands, including Vogue, Prada, Lincoln, Neiman Marcus, Kendra Scott, Orangetheory, and many more, she has gained the knowledge and expertise through hard work and experience to guide others who are just starting out in their endeavors. Now expanding, Mendez-Valdez launched a franchise model to help other women own their own agencies. In 2023 she was named a San Antonio Biz Journal 40 Under 40 honoree and launched the agency’s first satellite location with Haute in Austin.
