Kinsley Mejia
Local shoemaking and carpentry
- 🇺🇸 St. Petersburg, Florida, United States
- Old St. Petersburg Works
- Since 1978
- English, Spanish
I've worked in shoemaking since 1978. I learned from my aunt and passed what I could on to 2,690 apprentices.
The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 14 years later for another job.
I'm still learning every day.
More about Kinsley
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
