Entrepreneurship and creativity have been ingrained in me from a young age. In high school, I found solace in my sketchbook, using illustrations as a means of self-expression. I affectionately referred to these eccentric characters as my 'alter egos.' Inspired by Instagram, I ventured into selling stickers and phone cases featuring my artwork, eventually expanding into freelance projects for weddings and birthdays.

After graduating high school, I spent a year and a half at the University of Michigan before transferring to the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2020. During my time at Michigan, I continued to sell my sketches and launched a sweatshirt brand incorporating my illustrations. However, my plans were disrupted by the onset of the pandemic, prompting me to return home and explore new avenues, including designing bikinis and fulfilling custom orders.

Upon my return to New York City, I immersed myself in various creative pursuits, from sewing and painting to sculpting and jewelry design. I am driven by an insatiable curiosity to explore the unknown and find inspiration in the process of discovery. This past summer, I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a major in Production Management and am currently in the process of launching my own jewelry line.

In my work, I thrive in freelance roles where I can wear multiple hats. I enjoy being hands-on, collaborating with others, problem-solving, and designing. I approach every opportunity with enthusiasm and determination, fueled by my innate need to create and explore new possibilities.
