hello, hello
Born in Medellin, Colombia then raised in Atlanta, Georgia—I've grown up with constant change and adaptation.
Storytelling is the foundation of all the endavors I pursue in life. I constantly look to learn and challenge myself to continue to grow.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2020 with a B.F.A. with a dual concentration in fashion design and writing, and a minor in fashion writing.
