We had the good fortune of connecting with Jessica Muñoz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jessica, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I wanted to create something unique something that makes us different wherever we go.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I always like to create, design and paint During the pandemic with more time painting was therapeutic for me and my kids we were somewhat depressed about everything that was going outside and the fact we couldn’t go out was hard I felt helpless, especially for my daughter since she was Junior going to be senior and that is an important year for any teenager so I took this time to bond with her more and try to motivate us. Hoping this will be over I said we should open a business didn’t know what but I started to see more people being creative and opening their businesses I said if they can I can do it too. I started looking for something I like and As a mom, I like comfortable shoes my daughter said if we put our paintings I really like that idea Then I started to look for a factory that allowed me to put my designs and that was not easy in China everything is possible but I didn’t like the use a lot of plastic the cost was very promising but I was not convinced, I realize I should help my own Latino community so I started looking in factories around South America one of them gives me the opportunity to create my own designs and ship to USA my shoes have a lot of creative colors and comfy for sure for the summer my shoes are the greatest accessories there cute and comfy today I also make leather bags now my bags are unique, different, bright colors The people who wear my designs are people who like to be unique, different, empowered.
