After she graduated, she accepted the post of an account assistant for Comcast and Time Warner Team in November 2011. In March 2012, she was made HBO’s budget coordinator in consumer marketing, a position she held until May 2012. For a year between 2012 and 2013, Santos worked as an associate account executive at the New York-based apparel and fashion company, Theory. She was employed as an e-commerce stylist at yet another apparel and accessories retailer, JackThreads, from February 2014 to March 2016.

She has collaborated with major shoe brands like Nike, Adidas, Puma, and Converse and has also done projects with Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto’s brand Y-3 (a collaborative effort with Adidas) and women’s activewear company Bandier.
