School: UC Davis
Major: Design
Aspirations: I want to design sets for movies/tv shows and stages for concerts. My dream is to incorporate stage design with sustainability making this category of deign more eco friendly.
Skills: Set design, clothing design, human centered design
Projects/accomplishments: I have been lucky enough to help build sets for the BET awards and the Grammys. I have created countless apparel designs. I also hand craft all my families Christmas decorations and ornaments every year following the theme that they choose.
Repair experience: I would like to learn how to fix any kind of apparel. My clothes and accessories are important to me and I need to know how to fix them when they become damaged.
Accolades: I have won many awards for speech competitions and have received recognition in campus magazines for my fashion. I am working towards receiving accolades for my designs.
Groups/memberships: I am not apart of any school groups yet. However, I am a member of AA which is a very large and community driven organization which has made me into the person I am today.
Hobbies: I like to sign, dance, crochet, sew, craft, draw, hike, and travel.
How this project relates to me: Going into a field of work where designing and building sets is the whole purpose means that I also need to know how to fix sets, as well as create instructions for other people to fix sets when I am not there.
Fun facts: I can rap any Nicki Minaj verse. I have lived in 4 different states. I have been to Alaska. I can guess anybodies shoe size. One of my favorite things to do is find off-brand/knock-off Takis, so far Trader Joes has the best knock-off Takis.
