Constance and Jamey met in 1996 as Garza was showing his paintings in San Francisco galleries while simultaneously building custom furniture for retail spaces and restaurants.  The duo moved to Marfa in 2003 to design and build beds for the Thunderbird Hotel in Marfa, Texas.  Once there, the couple decided Marfa was home, and began work on what is now the Garza Marfa line of furniture.
