In my childhood, I remember being surrounded by fabrics, threads and dressmakers. For many years, my mother owned a haberdashery in the little town where I was born, and I tend to think this had an influence on my later decision to study textile design. Although I earned my degree in industrial design, at the Escuela Universitaria Centro de Diseño in Montevideo, Uruguay, and have since worked in many design and artistic fields, I think of myself first and foremost as an embroiderer.
