Hi! I’m Maria Jimenez – the owner of “Hands of the People”. I am a Colombian who moved to the United States in 2011, became a US citizen and have been a resident of Arizona ever since. I feel so fortunate to be in this country and to launch my business here while promoting my Colombian heritage, as well as the unique customs and traditions of my country.
I’ve always appreciated the art and way of life of the indigenous communities within my homeland, so I started this brand to honor them. For the past year, I have been working hard to share with all of you a piece of my Colombian culture through amazing handmade products that are a symbol of my beautiful country.
