Quién soy? | Who am I?
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, an Island in the Caribbean. I have a B.F.A. in Fashion Design from the School of Fine Arts and Design of Puerto Rico. I also have an M.F.A. in Fashion Design from Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. Through the years I learned that in order to survive this industry, you must be capable of learning how to do *everything. That’s why I am a fashion designer, graphic designer, textile designer, product developer, fashion illustrator, printmaker, professor, artist and most important, educator.
