My journey in design

​

I’m Cristina Lugo, a textile designer living in Montreal. I studied Textile Design with a focus on interiors in Mexico City, where I grew up. Soon after graduating, I co-founded a design studio with my university friends, where we collaborated closely with textile companies in Mexico to create custom pattern collections, as well as designs for ceramics and dinnerware sets that were hand-painted by local artisans,  a process that deepened my love for craftsmanship and collaboration.

In search of new experiences and with a desire to keep learning, I moved to Toronto, where I began working as a freelance designer and eventually joined a company creating prints for the home textile industry. After my two daughters were born, my family settled in Montreal, and I decided to found my own design studio, a long-held dream that now allows me to create with both freedom and intention.

My work now

Now, with many years of experience behind me and a passion for art, interiors, and pattern that continues to grow, I design from my home studio with the intention to craft artwork that brings warmth, beauty, and harmony to everyday spaces.
