Since she was a child, she trained in the best schools in Madrid and Switzerland and graduated in Marketing and Business Sciences.[2][3] She began working as an agent for bullfighters, where she met her husband Manuel Díaz González.[4][5]
She later entered the world of fashion, and found success collaborating with the designer Ángel Schlesser.[6] In this way, she began to be known internationally and to dress celebrities such as Uma Thurman, who wore her designs on the Campari calendar.[2] Her collections include festive costumes, flamenco dresses, bridal gowns, handbags, and costume jewelry. Notably, she was hired by Anna Allen to design a dress for her to wear at the 2014 Oscars, though it was later revealed that the actress had fabricated her appearance at the ceremony using altered photographs.[7] Martín Berrocal also had her own special edition of Nocilla glasses.[8]
