HERITAGE IN THE MAKING

I’m Sandra, a Mexican-American woman exploring how culture, memory, and craft connect us to our roots.

I write about Mexican artisan traditions, storytelling in design, and the deeper meanings behind what we make and buy.

If you believe beauty should carry meaning, I hope you’ll feel at home here.

Come for the artistry. Stay for the soul.
