Known for exceptional collaboration within cross-functional and multicultural teams.Beyond the Resume: In 2021, at the age of 35, I made the toughest decision of my life: leaving Cuba, my family, my friends, a senior role at FullGao, and the business I had built with so much effort: Amarillo B&B. Starting over in the U.S. has been a humbling experience. I transitioned from managing a successful brand to the thrilling life of a curtain factory worker, mastering blinds with a paycheck that wouldn’t make it rain but sure taught me to appreciate the little things. I took night shifts at a Miami Beach hotel, navigating the challenges of the hospitality industry in a new country, and delivered groceries with Instacart, embracing the gig economy to make ends meet. I've done it all.These jobs may seem far from my world of design and branding, but they've taught me lessons I wouldn’t trade for anything. They've deepened my appreciation for hard work and given me a profound respect for immigrant communities. Most of all, they've made me deeply grateful to those who offered me opportunities here in the U.S. Each of these experiences has strengthened my belief that resilience and creativity go hand in hand. It's this mix of skills and life lessons that I now bring to every project, aiming to create designs that aren't just visually striking but also deeply human.
