As an emerging multimedia artist at the intersection of fashion design, interactive art, and technology, I am passionately engaged in blending the tactile world of fashion with the expansive capabilities of digital media to create immersive and meaningful experiences. My academic journey, encompassing a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in Fashion Design and a minor in Art History from the Fashion Institute of Technology, followed by a Master of Professional Studies in the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University, showcases my fervent commitment to integrating traditional artistry with technological innovation.
For me, art goes beyond mere aesthetic appeal, serving as an essential channel for dialogue and connection. My foray into the realm of art and design has been characterized by leveraging my creations as a voice, employing a variety of media as my vocabulary to express those emotions that words cannot capture. This approach has served not just as a form of communication with the external world but also as a vehicle for self-reflection and personal expression.
