Saludos, we wanted to shared our celebration of women in design from Puerto
Rico.

vast international career. Her work was present in Italy, Switzerland and
United States and has received commissions to design a necklace for Queen
Sofía of Spain. She is member of the International Watch and Jewelry Guild,
participated in the prestigious event Basel World, and is one of the few
Puerto Rican designers that hold design patent. Her jewels have been sold
in Neiman Marcus, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, among many other places
worldwide. Fossas pieces, inspired mainly in nature, are considered small
works of art.

Rico. Her design career developed mainly in the car industry. In the late
1970s she was the first female Hispanic designer in charge of the design
staff in General Motors Corporation. She was part of the interior design
team for Chevrolet, Camaro, Corvette, Saturn, Cadillac and Riviera. In late
1980s she joins the Ford Motor Company, were she was the responsible for

artist and activist from Puerto Rico. She was the founder of Graf, one of
the first graphic design companies on the island, with which she

communication services and differentiating it from advertising practices.
Her firm created the corporate image of local and international projects
such as the magazine *Qué pasa *for the Tourism Company, the graphic
identity of the XVII Central American and Caribbean Games held in Puerto
Rico in 1993, the creation of identity for the Museum of Art of Ponce and
the Museum of Art of Puerto Rico, or the campaign of Margarita Penón who in

others. She donated the first public graphic design collection to the

successful, like the modular flower pots "Green Pockets" that was shown in
the Salone del Mobile in Milan, Italy, on 2009. Her furniture can be seeing
