About
Everything around us once lived in someone's imagination.
I've always been fascinated by that idea — and by the people, places, and small moments that give shape to what we create.

Growing up in Guatemala, I was surrounded by color, architecture, craftsmanship, music, and culture. I became deeply curious about how things were made — not just physically, but emotionally. Why certain spaces make us feel something. Why objects can carry energy, memory, or inspiration. Why some creations stay with you long after you experience them.
A big part of that came from watching my grandfather work as a carpenter. I spent countless hours in his workshop watching ideas slowly become tangible things through sketches, measurements, materials, patience, and instinct. There was something powerful about seeing someone create from nothing but vision and feeling. It taught me that creation is more than making things — it's a way of seeing the world.
Over the last 20 years, I've also lived inside the world of retail, from fast fashion to luxury. I was constantly surrounded by beautiful garments, furniture, jewelry, textures, spaces, and storytelling. It deepened my appreciation for craftsmanship and for the emotional connection people have with design, aesthetics, and self-expression. At the same time, my work in Human Resources pulled me even deeper into understanding people — how we think, what moves us, what inspires us, and how environment shapes emotion.
My work exists somewhere between art, objects, emotion, culture, nostalgia, and intentional living.
I create because I believe inspiration matters. I believe the things we surround ourselves with — the spaces we create, the music we listen to, the objects we keep close, the energy we carry, the stories we tell ourselves — all shape the way we experience life.
More than anything, I want my work to remind people that they don't have to build their lives around trends, expectations, or validation. That there is beauty in trusting your own perspective. In imagining differently. In creating a life, a space, or a feeling that genuinely resonates with who you are.

"We are all creators in some way."
Imagination
Everything begins as a feeling, an image, a quiet idea.
