Collection: Prieta Mx

Born in Tijuana, México. Life at this busy, multicultural border and the contrasts in cultures (Mexico-United States) has shaped and influenced my work. On one hand, the massive consumerism and fast pace-lifestyle from the United States; on the other, the ingrained family values, rich cultural heritage, and artisanship/craftsmanship, fix-it, make it-last culture from Mexico. This placed juxtaposing values on objects, materials, time, and what it means to acquire or possess an object. As a designer, I’ve decided to step away from mass-produced objects to slower, emotional design that aims to develop a close relationship with the user. I believe objects are emotional vessels and can hold deep meaning in a person’s life.

I studied industrial design and CEDIM (Monterrey-México) and I am on my way to start an MA in design products at the Royal College of Art.

Prieta is born as an exploration and experimentation with ceramic, the forms it can take and the places it can inhabit. Prieta is a creative expression.
