I AM A 23 YEAR OLD NYC BASED DESIGNER, RECENTLY GRADUATED WITH A BACHELORS OF  FINE ARTS IN FASHION DESIGN FROM PARSONS SCHOOL OF DESIGN.THE MAIN FOCUS OF MY WORK INVOLVES EXPERIMENTING WITH DIFFERENT TEXTILE TECHNIQUES, INCLUDING KNITTING, WEAVING, BEADING AND DIGITAL PRINT DESIGN,OFTEN USING REPURPOSED MATERIALS.THE INSPIRATION FOR MOST OF MY WORK IS THE OBSERVATION OF PEOPLE, PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, AND A CLOSE EXPLORATION OF THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AS A DESIGNER TO CREATE MEANING IN MY WORK; AND TO USE IT AS A MEANS OF ACHIEVING COMMUNICATION WHEN WORDS FAIL.
