About me / About business or organisation:
We are located in the southern Mexico in the state of Chiapas. A state which has a large indigenous population descending from the Mayans. They are master artisans in various fields, but especially in textiles. Our organization endeavors to create a portal by which the skills of these artisans can be shared outside of the state and outside of the country of Mexico. Chiapas is a state with few opportunities, especially for those from the smaller villages. Our project aims to allow the artisans to continue with their craft, remain in their homes, and to earn a respectable wage.
Career history / Company history:
The project was launched in March 2013. I spent 10 years in New York City working for the major fashion house of LVMH (specifically at Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs International).
