Born in Lima and raised between continents, Isabel has lived and worked in New York, Paris, and Miami. She holds degrees from NYU Tisch and La Sorbonne, and began making films at just 16, honing her voice across fiction, documentary, advertising, and journalism.

With the first chapter of what she calls her “Miami Trilogy” near completion, Isabel is now developing her second feature, Merengue Queen—a bilingual dramedy about a struggling single mom who becomes an accidental dance celebrity. Through this next film, she aims to bring more heart, humor, and intentional collaboration to the screen, and is currently seeking creative partnerships that will help elevate her vision and bring it to life with care, strategy, and joy.
