From First-Generation Student to Creative Entrepreneur: My Journey and Passions

Hola, I’m Kassandra Chapa—graphic designer, entrepreneur, and first-generation college graduate. My journey has been about blending passions and creating opportunities, and this blog is my space to share those experiences with you. I hope to inspire others by offering insights into the things I love: graphic design, marketing, entrepreneurship, western fashion, and my dogs. Growing up, I was always drawn to anything and everything creative and design related. This passion led me to pursue a degree in graphic design, which eventually became the foundation of my business, Firulais Co.—an online pet accessory brand that merges Mexican tradition with modern pet fashion. Inspired by my love for dogs, I’ve built a brand that celebrates my heritage while staying true to my creative spirit and by creating Spanglish stickers and accessories. This blog will cover topics like design trends, small business + marketing tips, and even the latest in western fashion. It’s for anyone who’s navigating the world of entrepreneurship, creativity, and everything in between. Whether you’re a designer, an entrepreneur, a fashion enthusiast, or just a fellow pet lover, I hope you find inspiration and practical advice here.

Thanks for tagging along—let’s create, inspire, and grow together!
