“The jaguar’s face was designed in this tattoo style, which made me think of Dia de los Muertos, and the very intricate La Catrina designs that you'll see on tattoos where the woman's face is covered. So, I just kind of was like building on that. The shapes and designs that you see are all inspired by the molas from Colombia, which are colorful tapestries. I kept adding more colors and lines, and it took on this really cool graffiti, street-art feel.
I think that love is incredibly powerful. One of my favorite things in the world is Motown music from Detroit, and that's all based on love.

Whatever you do in life, show up with passion.”
