WORK EXPERIENCE

| Description: | I am a designer and a craft artist For the last three years I have been building a Hand bag line Concalma www.concalmalinea.com . Currently, I am starting a new line of limited-edition designer quilts combining vintage, modern, and contemporary textiles both from the residual materials of my own past seasonal hand bags lines. I am involved in the entire production process: conceptualizing, sketching, designing, generating technical sheets, manufacturing, and marketing. My brand, Concalma, encompasses not just hand and tote bags, but an environmentally responsible philosophy consisting of supporting local artisans and using available material resources, building communities in the process. In translation, Concalma means to approach everything with calm; to encompass everything with tranquility. Concalma products serve as tools to facilitate our physical flow from one place to another.
