The road to our dreams is never easy. We get discouraged by rejection, delays, people, and all the challenges presented along the way. Eilyn Jimenez says, "With tenacity, dedication, and hard work, anything is possible."  

About 5 years ago, Eilyn dreamed about where she is today, and the experiences she is living. The Netflix series, "Designing Miami" is a hit! Her career, as Founder and Creative Director of Sire Design, is on fire. She is also married to her co-star, Ray Jimenez. He is the Founder and Creative Director of Raymond Nicolas Design House. How is that for competition? The Cuban and Dominican dynamic duo are a winning combination on screen and in life.  

AW sat with the talented designer to talk about her dreams, influences, the show, woman empowerment, and what is next for the power couple. This interview is dedicated to all the dreamers and the families that come to the United States with not much more than a dream in their pocket.
