Hi fellow Steemers!

My name is Michele, I am 28 years old and currently live in Mexico City.

I’m from the great state of Texas, but have decided to pursue my career in this chaotic, beautiful metropolis. I’ve been living in CDMX (Ciudad de Mexico) for nearly 3 years and for now, couldn’t be happier.

Me in Guanajuato last year

I am an architectural designer turned real estate developer, but my passion will always be DESIGN. It doesn’t matter if it’s a piece of furniture, a tee shirt, or an entire building. I think I’ll be sketching and making for the rest of my days. I won't be posting any personal work just yet, but hopefully in the near future.

So...

Mexico City is a beautiful disaster, a land of contrasts that has afforded me the opportunity to experiment. It’s a place that can suck the life out of you, yet simultaneously give you the simplest rewards you’ll ever know. The architecture is absolutely beautiful, so it's easy to be inspired here.

I’ll be posting more about CDMX in the near future, if that’s something people would be interested in learning about.



Yes, the city does go forever..

I was indirectly introduced to Steemit by @lukewearechange. He is quite the personality and many of you are probably familiar with his work. He’s an independent reporter funded by ‘we the people,' whose work has really inspired me throughout the years. I had the pleasure of meeting him last year when he came to visit Mexico City…that experience gave me the confidence to try this whole thing out.

Last but not least, here’s my verification photo:

Can't you see I'm terrified?

I hope to learn more from you all and to contribute to the community in any way I can!

Cheers – Saludos!
