I am an entry level designer looking to get my petite foot in the door. Professionally speaking, I am very dedicated and passionate about designs that are functional and have a high aesthetic value. I have a fresh, fashion-forward mind, but a classic soul. An eagerness to learn and an extreme work ethic have helped me succeed in college, I just need the opportunity to put it to the test in the real world.
