Designer by Calling
I have been intertwined with the design world since a child. The dreams in Kaleidoscopic patterns needless to say I couldn't comprehend the deep work that God was doing in me.
As, a young girl, I used to steal the oil paints and brushes of my uncle as I desired to express my artistic hunger. In grade school, I was given awards for my artwork as well as part of the arts in High School.
​
The high school years were exploratory years and in college, I decided to become serious about the art of making money so I majored in Nursing, which didn't take me long to go back to my passion for design. There is an err to think that Design is not scientific for that is how I have been able to relate to it as a form. I asked my father, Manuel, to allow me to transfer out from the Community College I was in and go to the Harrington Institute of Interior Design. Oh! there I found the science of line making, drafting, color theory, and much more.
​
The career years, embrace knowledge, experience, and design growth from working for Home Depot, Wickes Furniture, and a Tailor Made Garment Company - Xpressions Store.
​
The Making of The Roman Cassock, as a revert in 2019, which I give all credit to Mother Mary and my great grandfather his soul keeps teaching me all the beauty of what entails in being a Catholic.
