I was born in Havana, Cuba. My Childhood was always an adventure. Not having much money for toys, I spent much of my time exploring, making things, and helping my grandfather fix his 1956 Buick. We did not have places to buy items we take for granted today, so we had to make do with the objects around us. This mindset nurtured an attitude of design thinking. Today I’m at home thinking outside the box, and use all my experience to further designs.
