Aimé Nuñez grew up in Oak Cliff, built a career in tech, and walked away from it after a season of loss with no clear plan for what came next. What followed was Pegasus Creative Reuse, a secondhand art supply shop built on a pay-what-you-want model and a belief that creativity should be accessible to anyone. In this episode, Aimé shares how grief led her to art, how she unexpectedly took over Pegasus, and what it’s like to run a business rooted in generosity. We talk about risk, generosity, and the impact of putting creative tools back into the community.

In this Texas Talk, recorded live at Wax Space in December 2024, designer Crespatrick de los Reyes shares the story behind his Dallas-based brand C. Patricio—a label rooted in legacy, storytelling, and denim. From his DIY beginnings in Los Angeles to discovering a creative community in Oak Cliff, Crespatrick reflects on how limitations sparked innovation, why denim became his canvas, and how his Filipino heritage continues to shape his work. Along the way, he talks about finding his “Air Force One” piece, creating with upcycled materials, and building a brand that doubles as a platform for culture and community.

Wax Space hosts Texas Talks, a live lecture series featuring creative thinkers, entrepreneurs, and community voices from across the state. We bring a selection of these conversations to the Hidden City podcast so you can hear them, too.
