WOODBURY UNIVERSITY
I’m based out of Upland, California and am currently in my senior year of Graphic Design attending Woodbury University. It’s funny, I work as a journalist for Hollywood Weekly – constantly interviewing and writing about other people’s lives but I’m drawing blanks trying to write out mine lol. From a young age my mother taught me to embrace myself as an individual to the fullest extent and I live every day doing just that to make my younger self proud. I bring that up because design has allowed me to view the world with the eyes of a newborn. Discovering the endless amount of art that goes into our everyday lives has been truly humbling to the core. I strive to always learn and grow through every opportunity that finds its way to me, as well as through all the unique souls that I have encountered on this beautiful journey. Not sure if you get the gist of who I am through that lol – but I enjoy producing music, sewing, and social events. Thank You for your time and curiosity.
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?
That’s a hard one. Without being cliché and saying “all of life’s moments” – I would say currently, eco futurism has been an obsessive idea that has been cycling through my mind for a while now.
WHAT AREA OR AREAS OF DESIGN ARE YOU HOPING TO WORK IN OR SPECIALIZE IN?
I wish to dive into as many forms of design as possible while I can still have fun with this craft. So, I’ll be seeking to become a creative director with a company that will allow me to do just that. But in terms of specifics – industries like fashion, home decor, entertainment and environmental design have been embedded into my radar.
WHAT IS ONE THING THAT DESIGN SCHOOL HAS TAUGHT YOU THAT YOU DID NOT EXPECT?
Design school has taught me the importance of teamwork. There’s no way I would have gotten through my years in school without having a mental crisis if It wasn’t for the help of my classmates and professors. I’m a freelancer by nature, so learning this key factor in this profession has been extremely crucial and liberating. Designing and learning as a team is a beautiful thing.
