Education
Whether through school, personal experiences or professional experiences, I learn best in a project-based, hands-on environment. The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City was the perfect college for me. I wasn’t interested in fashion, but the degrees I completed provided skills and experiences that went beyond fashion. Since I graduated in 2014, I have been improving my skills in experience design and digital tools (SketchUp and AutoCAD) through personal projects and professional experiences.
