I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember; I can’t recall a single time when I didn’t have a multitude of ideas and set out to create. Illustration, painting, origami, porcelain, wall painting, glass painting. The list goes on!\n\nI’m embarking on my academic journey in fashion design for the 957th time. I believe this training will help me formalize all the knowledge I’ve acquired over nearly 20 years of working with fashion and the arts. With a different mindset, I come up with different ideas, create a thousand more, and still feel like I’m not doing enough. Between English classes and translations, retail sales, and illustrations for restaurants and bakeries, here I am in 2026, ready for more challenges! I believe it’s possible to balance work, passion, social life, and health all within the same life.
