Hi there, I'm Aissa! I am a first-generation American from Sénégal who, over the years, has developed a deeper passion for the field and has realized its importance in society beyond aesthetics. I find it to be a means of expression, storytelling, and a source of healing. I strive to become someone who can curate timeless spaces in design that are durable in quality, and functional to my community.
