It all started with my Abuela, (Grandma). She has always been a creative person. My grandparents use to own a ceramic studio where they taught pottery classes in a small town in Puerto Rico. I would tag along and watch as they taught. Then I would watch them fire up the kiln. I loved it. I was probably 4 years old at the time.

I think one of my fondest memories was sitting on the front porch of my Abuela's second floor apartment while I watched her crochet. They live by the beach. Just sitting there in the evening, crocheting with Abuela while the evening breeze was blowing was such a treat! Visiting my grandparents was always a wonderful experience because I knew that I'd always be doing something creative. My Abuela had a way of make every day very special. Whether it was watching her cook, sew or make other crafts I always had a great time.

I now create handmade accessories in my home studio. I am obsessed with new ideas that incorporate function and style. All items in my shop are created to be "Functionally Chic". My best ideas come to me at the oddest of times. Sometimes late at night when I should be sleeping or while stuck at a red light in my car!

My items go through a rigorous "testing" phase as I create products for me first. I use it for some time before producing them for the public. I use it and most of the time, abuse it in real life situations. It wouldn't make sense to create something that is functionally useless. I want to offer more to my customers. With function in mind and fabulous boutique quality designer fabrics, you are assured one wonderful accessory that is "Functionally Chic"!
