UG
I took a liking to the arts and music from a young age,
influenced by my parents\' love of the field.
I have loved pencilwork in particular for as long as I can remember.
Strongly influenced by an Alexander McQueen collection I saw in a magazine in early
2000,
I became engrossed in fashion.
Learning about the study of psychology and human relations in my undergraduate
studies, I traveled across the Pacific Ocean at 23 years old to realize my aspirations.
Upon entering my dream school, Parsons The New School for Design,
I studied the existence of clothing as a \"medium between the environment and the
wearer”.

Objective
To create a garments that balance price and design in NY. I desire to find full-time
employment in a position that allows me to use my experience in patternmaking,
clothing design, and brand management.
