THE GT STORY PROJECT - W.FOUNDER
We started Triciclo as a social media agency - that was the real goal, but fortunately, we pivoted right on time when we saw that the social media market was completely saturated and yet saw a huge opportunity in the e-commerce field. Mexico was lightyears away from the US e-commerce scene at the time. I feel like I started at 25 because I had nothing to lose at the time, and that is when I met my business partners (which made sense).
Read MoreI started working when I was 20 years old as a practice graphic designer, then I got hired, but I felt like my creativity was always limited. I wanted to be able to see my projects completed, so I started to make vinyl for cups, coffee mugs, shirts, and different media at home. I had such demand that in six months, I decided to open a store. I had so many customers and appointments that I wasn’t able to have a job and have my shop at the same time so I decided to quit. It was really hard but definitely the best decision.
Read MoreI started my projects aiming to apply what I learned at school. I believe that economic growth is not against sustainable development. La Fabrica Cafetería is a sustainable specialty coffee shop based on the circular economy goals, the first of it’s kind in my city, and Sustenta Mx is an online blog that includes a podcast, infographics, images, and all kind of digital content in order to disseminate knowledge related with sustainable development.
Read MoreI always worked at technology companies even when I was not an engineer and I realized that to build great technology you need a good team, common sense, and product vision - that is why I started Common Sense. Also, we opened a new market instead of competing with development or software agencies. We add value and have a difference when we offer product concept design and software development. We create our own methodologies to deliver value and what our customers need.
Read MoreGrowing up, I always had an entrepreneurial passion but I also knew I wanted to make a difference in the world. I knew I wanted to create clothing that did more than dress people. It was always about more than just clothing for me.
