About Cindy Prado

Cindy Prado is an American fashion model, social-media personality and entrepreneur. She was born and raised in Miami, Florida, on January 20, 1992. She is of Cuban and Spanish ancestry and grew up in a bilingual household, with Spanish as her first language.

Prado began modelling at approximately 15, appearing in catalogs and walking in runway shows, and pursued it more seriously after high school. She attended Florida International University and graduated with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Public Relations. After difficulties securing traditional modelling-agency representation, she arranged her own photoshoots and used social media to promote her portfolio.

Her work included fashion and swimwear assignments with Maaji Swimwear and 1sol Swimwear, and appearances in FHM and Maxim. She has also worked with Telemundo. In 2014, she was a semifinalist in Maxim's Hometown Hotties competition. She has been named a Hometown Hottie by Maxim Magazine.

Prado has worked with brands including PrettyLittleThing, Beach Bunny, Kittenish, Luli Fama and Berry Beachy, and appeared in runway shows during Miami Swim Week. She uses Instagram under @cindyprado, where she posts fashion, swimwear, travel, beauty, fitness and lifestyle content. She has said that consistency, patience and building relationships were important factors in her success.

In 2021, Prado developed the Prado Program, a fitness and wellness platform created with personal trainer Luis Buron. It offers workout routines, coaching and lifestyle guidance. She has also been involved in a restaurant concept at Oasis Wynwood and has expanded into fashion and jewellery. Miami remains her principal home and professional base. She has worked with fellow model and Instagram star Lauren Loretta.
