Hi, I’m Raye'vn, a multidisciplinary artist and community-focused professional based in Austin. Over the past decade, I’ve fused design, education, and curation to create engaging art experiences, manage creative projects, and support educational programs in museums, universities, and community spaces. I love collaborating with artists, educators, and volunteers to bring ideas to life and connect people with meaningful opportunities. When I’m not coordinating exhibitions or designing materials, you’ll find me mentoring youth, documenting stories through photography and writing, or exploring new ways to blend art with community impact. I’m excited to continue growing in roles that bridge creativity, service, and education.
