I am a fifth year fashion design student who is currently enrolled at the University of Cincinnati within the DAAP Program (Design, Architecture, Art, & Planning). My design philosophy revolves around the belief that clothing is not merely a functional necessity but a powerful means of communication. I draw inspiration from a myriad of sources, including art, culture, nature, and everyday life. The mix of newness shown in my portfolio informs my unique approach to fashion, resulting in garments that blend tradition with innovation, sophistication with comfort, and boldness with subtlety. My aspiration is to contribute to fashion by creating designs that challenge conventionality, celebrate diversity, and empower individuals to express themselves through their clothing. I believe that fashion is a reflection of the times we live in, and I am excited to be a part of shaping its future.
