Olympic medalist | Motherr | Philanthropist | Entrepreneur | Supreme Twins Foundation Ambassador

YAIMA ORTIZ

I know what it means to fight for a dream. I lived it firsthand when I represented my country in the Olympic Games, and I live it every day as a mother. These two medals — the athletic one and the personal one — are my greatest achievements.

But my story didn’t end on the court. Today, I’m still competing, but in a different arena: the one where lives are changed. I’ve always felt a deep sense of responsibility to give back, especially to children with special needs. They don’t have filters. With them, everything is real — joy, pain, hope. I often wish I had a magic wand to heal them. Since I don’t, I find comfort in simply being there for them, supporting them however I can. And they, in turn, have changed me.

As an Ambassador of the Supreme Twins Foundation, I help lead projects that combine sports, inclusion, wellness, and education. I don’t do it for the spotlight — I do it because I know, through experience and through heart, that love, effort, and presence can transform lives.

I’m also a designer and an entrepreneur. I’ve created a purpose-driven brand that blends beauty, culture, and impact. Every day, I work with intention — to build a future that’s more humane, more just, and filled with real opportunities for those who need them most.

Because my story isn’t just mine — it’s a call to build, to unite, to transform.

And what I’m creating is so much bigger than me.

Dance of the mosses
$4,000.00

While driftwood and moss swayed in the rhythm of the flow, they met with the fishes in a harmonious choreography. The design turned into a jewel with the Dioptase stone, which adds movement to the design, and the fishes decorated with 0.55 ct diamonds in a combination of silver and 1.16 gr gold. Like a pair of jewels from a lost ship's treasure chest.

Glacier
$8,500.00

A small piece of the glacier, which seemed to be ineffective, drifted in the flow and merged into the ocean. The climate was changing inexorably. If we did nothing, the earth would change forever. In this piece, we used wires and fluorite stone, drift wood, 1.30 gr gold, 0.40 ct diamont and silver. We emphasized climate change with our confidence in the transformative power of upcycling.
