Since 2011, he began working with indigenous artisans throughout the country. As a Mexican fashion designer, he has conducted workshops on artisanal design, quality, and fair trade for various artisan groups, in addition to acquiring knowledge in traditional techniques such as backstrap loom weaving, iconography, and embroidery.
In 2014, he received the "Honorable Mention for Best Menswear Design" at the Mexico Diseña by Elle fashion platform, presented by Jean Paul Gaultier. Later in 2017, he took second place in the 11th edition of Mexico Diseña by Elle, themed "Maximalism.

He began his career at Carla Fernández’s Taller Flora, where he learned the art of collaborating with artisans, conducting research, and merging contemporary design with traditional techniques. His various diplomas in Mexico and abroad—including studies in New York and Milan—provided him with extensive knowledge of international markets and their application to the world of contemporary textile craftsmanship. As the founder of the genderless brand Guillermo Jester, he has positioned Mexican artisanal design across various fashion platforms. He presented his first collection in Milan, Italy, and his work has been featured in several digital and print media outlets, such as Elle México, Vogue México, Harper's Bazaar, L'Officiel, and various specialized fashion blogs. One of the brand's primary differentiators is its appreciation for the silhouettes of traditional indigenous clothing. In addition to collaborating with Mexican artisans, at least 80% of his collections consist of textiles or finishes handcrafted by these communities. This process includes deep research into the techniques, iconography, and worldview (cosmovisión) of the elements that define the cultural identity of the groups with whom he collaborates.
