Meet the Founders
Gema Garcia and Jonathan Luna
United by Purpose and Driven by Values
Gema Garcia and Jonathan Luna are the visionary duo behind Lotuz, a clothing brand rooted in sustainability, ethical practices, and community building. Their shared passion for creating positive change in the fashion industry serves as the foundation for Lotuz’s mission: to inspire a world where fashion is both stylish and responsible.
Gema Garcia
With a background in science and maritime studies, Gema Garcia’s journey toward sustainable fashion began during her academic pursuits. As a first-generation Mexican-American, Gema completed an Associate of Science degree, where she explored the connections between marine ecosystems, human activities, and environmental harm. She later earned her Bachelor’s degree in Maritime Studies, further deepening her understanding of global environmental challenges and human rights issues. During her studies, Gema became acutely aware of the devastating impact of the fashion industry on the environment and workers' rights. She was particularly struck by the practices of fast-fashion brands and the lack of transparency in even high-quality fashion labels. This awareness sparked her vision of a clothing brand that chooses sustainability and ethical practices over anything else.
Jonathan Luna
Jonathan Luna brings a unique perspective to Lotuz, rooted in his experience and his commitment to continuous learning and innovation. With a professional background that combines technology marketing and a strong understanding of business operations, Jonathan’s expertise has been instrumental in building Lotuz’s brand identity and strategy. His experience in navigating technology and marketing provides a unique edge in creating a digital-first, customer-centric approach for Lotuz. Jonathan’s entrepreneurial mindset and passion for sustainability align seamlessly with Gema’s vision, making Lotuz a brand that redefines the standards of ethical fashion. Together, they aim to empower consumers with the tools and knowledge to make conscious choices while embracing style and individuality.
