About-Me.txt

Hello! I’m a Senior Fashion student with a concentration in Product Development. I study how culture becomes product, and how product becomes memory.

I care about products that carry forward, studying how materials, stories, and timing shape what people hold onto; learning where to edit and where to add. I’m interested in what lasts, and I’m still defining what that means.
Driven by creativity, precision, and purpose, I approach every project with focus and adaptability. I’m comfortable working in the gray areas where direction isn’t fixed and outcomes are shaped through curiosity and iteration. I value clarity, collaboration, and results that feel both thoughtful and useful.

Make what people keep.
