A Wyoming Shop Rooted in Mexican Heritage | Grand Rapids News

Twenty-one years ago, Nancy Quero founded Guelaguetza Designs in Wyoming to bridge her Mexican roots with her new home—today it’s a thriving hub for nearly 200 Mexican artisans. Inspired by her mother’s sewing and her own love of handmade crafts, Quero turned her longing for Mexico into a cultural embrace, offering everything from pottery to jewelry. She pays artisans above-market rates, knowing their work is precious and undervalued, and has built deep personal ties that transform lives—like Cindi, who bought land and a home thanks to the shop. Beyond commerce, Guelaguetza celebrates Mexican heritage in Wyoming, empowering youth and community. With 70% of sales online, they’ve expanded to a larger space to keep up with demand.
