Our founder: Johanna Quintero
I Founded Lauranna following a dream I had since I was a little girl surrounded by needles, thread and embroidery hoops and saw my mother embroidering for many hours every night. I always heard from her and her friends that her art was not well paid. So after settling here in the USA and finding that many people appreciated this art, I decided to undertake this mission of helping not only my mother who is one of our most active artisans, but also other women who, like her, support their families with its embroidery and knitting in different materials.
A little bit about me , I am a Spanish teacher in a High School in Katy , Texas, I have three children with my husband Eddie. As an interesting fact when I found Lauranna my little boy was not in the plans and that is why the name only included the two girls. At the end, I just have to say that he is our CEO because everything goes around him being a little spoiled boy with two older sisters.
