Some of my earliest memories are of falling asleep on the floor of my parents' papelería (stationery store) in Mexico; my mom would lay out a thick blanket between the shelves so I could nap while they worked. When I wasn't sleeping, I was tucked under those same shelves, drawing to keep myself entertained. I grew up surrounded by small businesses: coffee shops, restaurants, toddler stores, and car supply shops. Business wasn't a career path in our house. It was just life.

That world taught me everything. How to show up every day. How to build something out of nothing. How to make people feel seen.

I went on to earn my Industrial Design degree from CSULB, where I learned to take an idea and turn it into something real; something you can hold, use, and feel proud of. Now I run DLT Studio, and I bring both of those worlds into every single product I design.

Everything here is made with small business owners in mind, because I know firsthand what it takes to build a brand from the ground up. NFC technology is the tool. But the real work is helping your business make a lasting impression.

— one tap at a time.

This is just the beginning. I'm so glad you're here.

Con cariño, Pau :))
