Born in El Paso, Texas, the Borderland, I was raised in both sides of
the U.S.-Mexico border. I experienced and learned two cultures, two languages
and two peoples. My home was in a barrio in Cd. Juarez, Mexico but received
an education in a middle-class neighborhood in El Paso, Texas. For eighteen
years, I commuted every day and spent a third of my life on the international
bridge, a link between two worlds. I truly absorbed and appreciate the
best of both worlds.
My design is influenced by the solutions-oriented American culture and
the vibrant, simple, and ingenious Mexican way of life.
