Growing up, my family would take summer trips to small coastal towns in Mexico, and to this day, I consider them some of the most influential experiences of my life. When exploring these soulful villages with my family, I was always taken aback by the abundance of energy that seemed to touch every surface. It was unlike anything I had seen before -– such raw canvases littered with immense color and life. The contrast was striking.
There was little organization in these culturally rich parts of Mexico. The colors were chaotic, the sounds were intense, and ultimately, nothing made that much sense – but altogether, it was vibrant and authentic – it left an impression that has stayed with me ever since. Ultimately, these childhood experiences allowed me to see and feel things differently than I had before. They altered my perspective and showed me that unordinary can be beautiful. My love affair with Mexico started at a young age and it continues to inspire me as a growing designer.
As I go forth in my career, I look forward to the people I will meet, the places I will see, and the things I will experience that enlighten me, change me, and challenge me to be a more dynamic designer. I look forward to the possibility of creating with you!
