Victoria Ubina founded the parent company Nine Yards International in 1999, and in association with designer Ward Kelvin, developed the brand Victoria Ward Collection. Victoria grew up in the art worlds of New York and Madrid as the daughter of painter, Senen Ubina. Her father’s sensibilities inspired her to give marketable form to artistic vision.
Victoria spent over 25 years in luxury product development and international sales and marketing. She managed custom corporate projects at Tiffany and Co. for eight years, working alongside Ward and other talented designers who still collaborate with her today. She later managed the Latin American/Caribbean markets for the decorative home fabrics company P/Kaufmann. Extensive travel gave Victoria and in-depth appreciation of hospitality and cultural landmarks, as well as the unique message that each property intends to convey. Nine Yards Int'l seeks out the finest production from across the globe while partnering with US companies to deliver superior products for both our collections and Private Label clients.
“We are uniquely suited to extract the meaningful, blend it with the marketable – and ultimately create beautiful, timeless products that promote places of interest and their celebrated hosts".
