Welcome to the first issue of WE World Magazine !
Long before I ever sketched a room or selected a piece of fabric , I dreamed of design . Throughout my youth , I visualized the day when I would become a professional designer . When that dream came true in 1989 , my journey truly began . Over the years , it expanded to include other passions along the way , like fashion and helping people . As my design career evolved , so did my story .
Soon I had a new dream : to share that story with a wider audience , to celebrate and uplift others on a broader scale . WE World Magazine is the embodiment of that .
Getting to this point has not been easy . When I look back and recall where I began , I know WE World is possible only because of my community . The endless love and support of clients and colleagues , family and friends , has made me who I am . Especially in this first issue , I want to express my gratitude to my partner in life and business , Gary Harlan , for always believing in me and for his unshakable guidance and encouragement . I ’ m beyond thankful for my incredible team , without whom there would be no WE World or Wilfredo Emanuel Design .
This magazine honors the beauty that surrounds each of us , in how and where we gather with one another , how we live , and what brings us joy . I ’ m so excited that through WE World , we can live in these moments together .
I hope as you ’ re designing your own dream , you ’ ll find inspiration and purpose in these pages . Thank you for joining me on this grand adventure .
Forever yours ,
Wilfredo Emanuel
