Denise Mercedes began modeling when she was 13 years old. She started her career by working as a photography studio receptionist. Mercedes's boss allowed her to model in photoshoots as a hobby, which is where she became accustomed to posing in front of a camera.

When Mercedes was 16 years old, she started submitting her photographs to agencies. Due to modeling agency height standards, it was difficult for Mercedes to receive representation at the time. Despite this, she continued to participate in modeling shoots. In 2012, Mercedes began her fashion blog for plus size women. That is when she began collaborating with different plus size boutiques.
