Hipatia Lopez
Began her career at the age of 21 graduating from college in accounting and onto working for a public accounting firm. She learned to deal with many different types of business owners. She always knew she wanted to start her own business but was not sure exactly in what field. She loves being an entrepreneur with passion and purpose.
Birth Story of my invention
Hipatia’s husband is Dominican and loves to cook for the whole family. One year during the holiday season while her family was preparing the menu in her household which included empanadas. They decided to make 100 empanadas and naturally she was the “closer” which she disliked that job because it took forever and her hands started to hurt. It was at that moment she had an “idea.” She wondered if there was a utensil that can help close them faster than using a regular fork. So she started to do some research and had the idea on her mind 24 hours a day. When she told her family that she wanted to invent one – they said “Go for it!”

Hipatia's mission for H.L. Unico LLC
Goes beyond selling a product. In her journey she discovered the sad truth about women inventors who hold USA patents which make up about 7% and “Latina” inventors in the USA is less than 1%. She believes in being a role model for young women. It is important to lead by example and give out positive energy to others that anything is possible in this world. She hopes to inspire many more women to invent.
