Our Story

I was born and raised between two cultures along the Texas–Mexico border, where bilingualism, family traditions, and cultural exchange shaped my identity. My professional career in community and public health taught me the importance of preserving culture and serving communities.
Together with my husband, I built Casa Gardenia as a family business and a legacy for our son. Every collection is ethically sourced directly from artisan families, celebrating generations of craftsmanship while creating meaningful connections between makers and customers.
