About

 Growing up in a household full of creative minds, I had always known that path was not only something I longed for, but something that lit passion within me. My creative path began with photography, where I developed a strong eye for composition and a passion for visual storytelling. That led me to explore editing and color, pushing each image beyond the frame into something more expressive. An internship at an ad agency introduced me to video production, where I gained hands-on experience with lighting, cinematography, and editing. Fascinated by the emotional impact of color in film, I earned a certification in DaVinci Resolve. I later worked as a Video Editor and Studio Creative, where I contributed across production sets and sharpened my skills in both storytelling and technical execution.

Around this time, my dad and I launched a travel container company called SPARE, with the goal of challenging large corporations to move away from single-use plastics. The experience gave me firsthand insight into the complexities of manufacturing, as well as the challenges that come with building a sustainable product from the ground up. I also gained a deeper understanding of consumer behavior, target demographics, and the power of social media marketing — learning how clicks, content, and strategy directly impact brand visibility and growth.

To broaden my creative perspective, I traveled to Florence, Italy to study the role and history of photography in fashion. There, I gained a deeper understanding of what makes iconic campaigns truly timeless — from composition and concept to cultural influence. Immersing myself in a different artistic landscape exposed me to new styles of design and visual storytelling that I hadn’t encountered in the States, and I was able to reflect that inspiration in my own portfolio work.

More recently, I have completed my degree in Interior Design at the Parsons School of Design in New York. I went back to the basics of shape, form, and color to expand my diverse creative knowledge into making a tangible reality. Here I have honed in my skills on multiple architectural and design platforms while spending countless hours in the wood shop creating my first furniture piece that was introduced at the 2025 ICFF Launch Pad. During my time at Parsons, I undertook the challenging task of earning my New York real estate license. This endeavor not only provided me with valuable insights into the competitive market I would navigate after graduation but also allowed me to refine my client communication skills, ensuring I was well-prepared for the professional world.

Diversifying my creative pursuits has always illuminated the kind of creator I aspire to be. Whenever I identified areas for growth, I embraced opportunities to improve and expand my skills. This journey has continuously reshaped my perspective, guiding me toward the professional I am today with clarity and purpose.
