ABOUT
I’m a multidisciplinary artist and UCLA Art major with experience spanning sculpture, installation, scenic design, production design, and creative marketing. As an art major with a film minor, I’ve always been interested in how visual choices shape the way people feel and connect with a story. Working in film/theater lets me take that instinct beyond the screen: turning a world's, emotion and identity into something that makes an audience stop, look, and want to know more. I’m currently seeking opportunities where I can combine my creative and technical skills to contribute to the entertainment industry, including production design, experiential design, fabrication, entertainment marketing, or other hands-on creative projects.EDUCATION
