SCAD | Empower artisans with Wonder for People designer Manuela Sánchez

Designer and SCAD alum Manuela Sánchez leads Wonder for People’s WonderLab in Colombia, where the brand produces its unique shoes called “Terranas” that are 100% handmade. A shared space for co-creation that empowers historically marginalized people of the global majority, the WonderLab makes a positive impact by generating a sustainable source of income for local families and reviving traditional craftsmanship. Join Sánchez (M.A., accessory design, 2019; B.F.A., fibers, 2016) as she shares her design philosophy and offers insight on how brands can encourage responsible production and consumption.
