I am a designer deeply rooted in tradition and craft, continuously inspired by the flow of creativity and the geographical constraints that shape it. My work is driven by a desire to slow down, embrace softness and curiosity, and appreciate the time, effort, and knowledge behind well-designed products. Through my training in interior design, architecture, and product design, I aim to move away from industrialization, instead fostering human-centered, meaningful connections in design. As I explore Mexico in search of a community and place to belong, Contra allows me to share this journey—creating tactile, intentional experiences that invite others to engage with design in a more thoughtful, grounded way.
