âIt doesnât matter where I am; Iâm always thinking about redesigning,â says LucÃa Landa, owner of an eponymous custom upholstery and antiques firm. Landa, who is originally from Mexico City, moved to the United States after meeting and marrying Joe Duggan in 2004. The couple lived in Washington, D.C., before moving to Saudi Arabia, where Duggan worked as a speechwriter for the CEO of the Aramco oil company. The couple spent six years living in and traveling throughout the Middle East. They returned to St. Louis, Dugganâs hometown, in 2015.Â
