Don Bugito is one of the most ambitious projects of Monica Martinez, a native of Mexico City who immigrated to the United States ten years ago. Monica is an accomplished artist and industrial designer who has been inspired by street culture and food: "I have fond childhood memories of waiting with excitement for the young man who delivered bottles of water to my home in a broken-down homemade cart, or the older man who sharpened our knives pedaling his stationary bicycle that had seen better days, the ice cream man on the streets, the woman at the corner of the block who sold the best quesadillas in the 'hood, and my favorite, the corn on the cob cart just a couple blocks from home."
She has worked as an architectural designer in several design firms in the Bay Area, as an art educator in many art institutions around the country, and recently as a catering server for McCall's Catering Company in San Francisco, where she is perfecting her skills and knowledge about food service. Monica resides in San Francisco with her dog Max but you can find a comprehnsive list of Monica's work and projects at her personal website.
