Our Story

I started Buena Vibes Designs to celebrate the beauty, humor, and corazón that comes with growing up between two cultures. As a first-gen Mexican-American raised in a tiny Texas town, I spoke only Spanish at home, watched novelas with my parents, and danced cumbias in the kitchen—but stepped outside into a world that didn’t quite understand that side of me.

It wasn’t until years later (and after meeting some amazing Spanglish-speaking amigas) that I reconnected with the bilingual, bicultural magic that makes me me. And when those amigas moved away, I realized I needed a way to keep that connection alive—not just for me, but for anyone else who ever felt a little stuck between two worlds.

Enter Buena Vibes Designs: a Spanglish-infused brand that celebrates our stories, sparks comunidad, and turns everyday moments into conversation starters. Whether it’s a sassy tee, a cafecito mug, or gear to get your sweat on con sazón, everything I design is meant to say “You get me” without saying a word.

This brand is for:

  • The bilingual jefas

  • The chismosas with a heart of gold

  • The ones who say “I’m tired” and “Estoy cansada” in the same breath

  • The in-betweeners who grew up flipping between Univision and Disney

Buena vibra means we dance while we clean, we shout ¡Ay ay ay! when the mariachi hits, and we laugh in Spanglish without apology. You’re not alone, amiga—you’re part of the buena vibes familia.
