As a child, my mom noticed that I was rather expressive and signed me up for formal art lessons, where I focused on drawing and oil painting. Over the years I learned to work with a wide variety of mediums. In high school I developed a love for film photography and continued to pursue creativity with an undergraduate degree in studio art. I have always loved fashion so I concentrated in textiles, doing work in dyeing, printing, and sewing. This passion was further developed during a graduate education in fashion design at Drexel University.
