Un poquito de mi, a little bit about me…


Raised in the sunny border city of Mexicali, Mexico, I embarked on an enriching journey that brought me to the vibrant landscape of design and athletics at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Balancing my passion for design with collegiate basketball, I earned a BFA in Industrial Design, seamlessly merging creativity with athleticism.

Transitioning from the West Coast to Boston, I delved into the dynamic realm of design as a Bag and Accessories Designer at Samsonite. Working across esteemed brands such as Samsonite, High Sierra, ebags, and Hartmann, I've had the privilege of shaping innovative and stylish products.

While my focus primarily centers on women’s products, I've embraced and enjoyed collaboration with designers across diverse specialties, enriching my expertise in Industrial Design and the creative realm. Additionally, I pursued a Graduate Certificate in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Harvard Extension School to enhance my understanding of business and management dynamics.

My source of creativity draws from a fusion of cultural influences gathered through extensive travel, marveling at the diverse approaches people take to achieve common goals. Inspiration also blooms from the tapestry of everyday life, encompassing fashion, interiors, and beyond, which I endeavor to reimagine with a unique perspective.

Fueled by a vision to craft functional products that elevate daily experiences, my goal is to foster a global community united by positivity and unforgettable design encounters.
