Catina Suarez Roscoe, ASFD
Catina is a freelance furniture designer and founder of Catina Unlimited Design, Inc. in Greensboro, NC. Earning a Fine Arts degree in DesignSculpture Concentration from UNC-Greensboro, her three-decade career has seen many successful collaborations with leading industry manufacturers. Born in Havana, Cuba, Catina came to the US at an early age. The impact of her heritage- the love of Latin music, food and art are prominent in her life and work. She finds inspiration in color, form, pattern and composition in the world around her. With a strong belief that design must touch the end user on an emotional level, she creates "interpretive designs" that allow the consumer to individualize their own expression. She intuitively balances essential lines of traditional with contemporary, and the familiar with the unexpected, yet the focus is always "Furniture is Fashion". Catina is an executive board member of the American Society of Furniture Designers (ASFD) and her studio is a repeat finalist and winner of the Pinnacle Award.
