ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Chris Cera
Chris was taking Communication Arts his senior year at De La Salle University. That year, he heard his department head announce that his sister, who had a bag manufacturing company, was looking for design students. Chris jumped at the opportunity and, while making bags at that company, gained the experience that later allowed him to join Rags2Riches as director of product development, where he currently works.
"Cera has a blend of artistry, design savvy and social consciousness that makes him perfect for fashion design/social advocacy.", from Uptown Downtown Site.
