I am the founder and sole digitizer of Holyframe Digital. My story began at age 18 in my uncles' family workshop. I didn’t start in front of a monitor there, but rather operating embroidery machines dedicated exclusively to ecclesiastical art.
For years, my day-to-day was workshop labor: precisely squaring designs in the hoop, preparing stabilizers, and configuring threads for every piece, from altar cloths to complex cope veils. I know firsthand what it means to thread needles tirelessly and the extreme patience required to work with metallic threads, facing breakages and technical challenges to ensure every liturgical ornament is perfect.
My passion for digitization was born from an interest in understanding how an idea turned into real stitches. Under my aunt's guidance and driven by constant curiosity, I spent years combining two critical roles: I was the digitizer and, at the same time, the machine operator.
This duality was my best school. Watching my own designs being embroidered in real-time allowed me to understand exactly how they must be structured for an impeccable result. I learned to correct errors that are only detected when the machine is running. Thanks to this, I have become a specialist who understands embroidery from the inside out; knowledge that I apply with rigor to every file I deliver.
I no longer work operating machines in the workshop, but that stage permanently marked my professional DNA. I decided to evolve toward online digitization, putting my experience at the service of other workshops to accompany the creation of liturgical ornaments where the final result is as dignified and durable as the solemnity it represents.
I don’t just sell files; I deliver designs that have been "thought for the machine." Thanks to my years as an operator, I don’t design blindly: I know how to configure the correct densities, the necessary underlays, and logical thread jumps so that when you hit the "start" button, the machine flows naturally.
What you see in this catalog is only a part of my journey. From my first designs to the most recent ones, every design carries years of technical learning with me.
By trusting Holyframe Digital, you are not acquiring a generic design, but the experience of someone who has been in your shoes, in front of the machine, and who knows exactly what is needed for a liturgical embroidery to be extraordinary.
