My name is Karen. I was born in Los Angeles and raised in Mexico City, where my love for creativity and entrepreneurship first began. As a little girl, I would play pretend with my cousins, dreaming of owning businesses and building something of my own.

When I returned to Los Angeles, life shaped me through real experiences. I started from the bottom, working alongside my mother, then growing into hospitality through cafés, luxury hotels, private events, and high-end restaurants. I fell in love with service, the energy of events, and making people feel cared for. The kitchen became my creative space. Gustolicious was born from heart, culture, dedication, and pride, bringing beauty, flavor, and unforgettable experiences to every event.
