Meet someone who I feel especially proud to call a friend and a member of the Altima team: Sonia Velasquez lost an eye at the age of six to family violence, yet overcame adversity becoming a model, renowned journalist, producer and recently, a ‘celebrity in the design world,” determined to introduce colors and light to our world. Sonia is all about making the world a happier place. Every Friday, Sonia offers her readers a new décor tip, as she draws inspiration from her visits to art museums around the world, finding unique pieces such as the one from master artist Fernando Botero .

For more colorful news, be on the lookout for new videos of ‘How to”—a project Sonia and Sherwin-Williams are presently working on. In this new series, first of its kind, Sonia explains step by step how to choose the perfect DIY (aka do it yourself) color, as well as the complementary shine and finish, and demonstrates how the use of the brush alone can make the difference. The “How to” series which was filmed in Cleveland, Ohio, recreated the possible obstacles encountered by first-time ‘do-it-yourself’ decorators.
