“Personally, my motivation for designing is to go look at my materials and then start working with what I have. and I like to visualize what I can do with them, and I like to create things that I don’t think exist yet and make it happen in 3D for others to enjoy.”

When he started introducing his own clothes, Honorato was called by a university in Guadalajara to teach a fashion design class.

He said that although the pandemic affected his business, he continued to work with individual models and continued to make personalized clothing. It helped me make sure I was thriving.
