California College of the Arts -Bachelor's degree program
Fashion design is my chosen medium for self-expression, where I share my story as a Black, queer, neurodivergent young woman. It is a powerful tool to amplify the voices of those whom society has tried to silence. With my bold and experiential designs, I aim to create non-traditional silhouettes that celebrate diversity and push beyond traditional boundaries. I bring together this goal of self-expression with the value of sustainability, which is at the core of my creative process. I am committed to using eco-friendly materials and ethical practices, ensuring my designs respect and protect the planet. A career in fashion design would be transformative for my personal and creative journey. This career path would enable me to develop my unique design voice. It would allow me to demonstrate my ability to master new techniques and contribute to the sustainable innovations I learn in college. Contributing to the ever-evolving world of fashion, facing new challenges, and developing design solutions for the present and future excite me about this career. My goal is to create a space that fosters dialogue and engagement with a community of Black creatives. This career would provide me with the platform to give voice to stories that are often overlooked, challenge industry norms, and inspire other BIPOC designers.
