About Me.

I am a current student at the University of Utah, studying Performing Arts Design. I'm interested in many things, but I narrowed it down to design because of my love of the art and my belief in my abilities to get things done. I love to collaborate, and I try to level up everything I touch. I have a passion for research and fashion, and I love finding the perfect piece of inspiration. 

Education

2020-2024

Theatre (Performing Arts Design Program)
University of Utah

At the UofU I was able to study and gain knowledge in practical and theoretical design skills. Classes included art studios, design core classes, sewing classes, shop classes, and much more. At the U we learn the basics of all Theatre design worlds, although I focused most on costume, set, and props. I also worked in the scene shop and gained practical experience in sewing, carpentry, painting, and welding.
