As a print designer I looked at ways to be sustainable with my design work. I love vintage clothing and so I decided to purchase special pieces that I could add my print designs through embroidery.

These drawings are my way of incorporating my hispanic heritage in this project. The sacred heart is one of the most widely symbolic practices and well-known latin devotions, wherein the heart is viewed as a symbol of “God’s boundless, and passionate love for mankind”

Frida Kahlo one of my favorite artist was always depicted in many of her self portraits with flowers in her hair which represented her Mexican heritage. As a Latina I remember many traditions and holidays where flowers were placed in my hair.

*The woven, canvas & mesh tote bags are a potential product line that could be incorporated with the clothing line.
