Meet Orlando Vega | Diseñador en el arte textil de la mola

We had the good fortune of connecting with Orlando Vega and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Orlando, why did you pursue a creative career?
Since I was a teenager, I was interested in creating all kinds of allegories and designs until the art of the mola came into my life. I fell in love with its vibrant colors and labyrinths around my designs. Here began my career as a designer of my own brand of molas from my Panama.
