How and when did you become interested in design?
When I was in high school my junior year, I took a fashion design class and fell in love with the aspects of fashion. My grandmother had taught me how to sew at a young age and I always wanted to know how to make my Barbie clothes bigger so that they would fit me. Now that is possible and I can design all the ideas in my head.

Latino music and dance based on the culture.

Creative, different and exciting.
