Who We Are

Orlanda A. Herrera
Symbolic thinker, community strategist, and lifelong learner.

I use storytelling, patterns, and lived experience to create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, with one another, and with what really matters.
Between 2007 and 2020, I designed and led learning experiences that mixed art with honest reflection. I held space for women, especially creators and entrepreneurs, to express what they carried, name what they knew, and decide how to turn that into personal or professional change.

During those years, I founded two art and design companies: a store and workshop in Mexico, and another that took my work and products across Latin America and Spain. I also built an online community of over 10,000 Latinx women, rooted in shared experience and everyday transformation. 

I’m a self-taught learner who’s always been driven by questions. Over time, I noticed patterns that repeated across generations of women, no matter their profession, age, or background. That led me to study Sociology, where I’m now in my final year. 

Since 2022, I’ve collaborated with organizations that serve minority and immigrant communities in Kansas City. That work has given me a closer look at how identity, learning, and self-perception unfold within layered social contexts and how art, language, and community can open new ways through. 

 In 2025, I’m opening a brick and mortar studio: Inner Spark Experiences

 a space for people in Kansas City to reconnect with their emotions through art and begin to transform them.
