We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiffany Garcia and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tiffany, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
Choosing a career in modeling wasn’t just about pursuing a job, it was about following my passion for creativity and self-expression. I’ve always found myself fascinated by the transformative power of fashion and the ability to convey emotions and stories through imagery. Modeling allows me to step into different roles, experiment with different looks, and collaborate with creative minds to bring ideas to life. It’s a career that continuously challenges me to push boundaries, embrace diversity, and celebrate the beauty of individuality. For me, modeling is not just a profession; it’s a deeply fulfilling artistic journey that allows me to express myself authentically and inspire others along the way.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Standing at 4’11”, petite models like myself stand out for our unique flair and versatility in the fashion industry. Despite our height, we bring dynamism, creativity, and determination to the runway, challenging traditional beauty standards. I take pride in defying odds and breaking barriers, & leveraging my uniqueness to excel professionally.

Through my journey, I’ve learned invaluable lessons about perseverance, self-confidence, and the importance of staying true to myself. I’ve discovered that success isn’t measured by height or conventional standards of beauty but by passion, determination, and the willingness to challenge yourself.

The world should know that my brand and story is not just about modeling; it’s about empowerment, representation, and embracing diversity. We are more than just models; we are trailblazers, advocates, and inspirations for anyone who has ever felt excluded or underestimated. My story is a testament to the power of embracing what makes us unique and using it to make a difference in the world of fashion and beyond.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
So, here’s how my day typically unfolds in Houston: I start off with a Southern brunch at The Breakfast Klub. It’s famous for its chicken and waffles, and it’s just the perfect way to kickstart the day. After that, I usually swing by some of Houston’s top photography studios like Sanman Studios, Superb Studios, or The Nellie Rose to update my portfolio with some professional shots.

For lunch, I can’t resist the delicious Dripped Birria & they have a few locations here in Houston. It’s a great spot to sample some local flavors. Then, in the afternoon, I get down to business. I collaborate with local photographers, makeup artists, designers to create these amazing editorial-style photoshoots.

And you know what’s great about Houston? The scenery is fantastic. So, I take advantage of that by arranging photoshoots in picturesque locations like Post HTX, Downtown, the Heights, and various parks. It really helps diversify my portfolio and adds that extra wow factor.

Towards the end of the day, I like to mix a bit of business with pleasure. I attend networking events or fashion shows hosted by Houston Fashion Week. It’s an amazing way to connect with other models, designers, and industry professionals. Plus, it’s always a lot of fun.
