I am a mixed media artist and designer, born in Jackson Heights and currently based in Long Island City, New York. After years of cultivating my craft at the Art Students League, I earned my BFA from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2017. My art centers on upcycling textiles and diverse materials to create works that symbolize protection and empowerment, exploring themes of identity, survival, and resilience in our ever-evolving world.

Moreover, my work investigates the intersection of art and the human experience, serving as ephemeral armor to guide us through an era of rapid technological change and uncertainty.
