Being born and raised in NYC gave me a view to a world that most people could barely understand. The way the city moved got my attention at a very young age, and it has become embedded in me. I love to make things, there is a comfort and freedom I find in making the world see or feel something that were not looking for. To be able to make something for myself that someone else enjoys and understands in their own way is amazing. Travel has opened my eyes in a way that escaped me here in NYC, the colors and way of life that run deep in other cultures captivate me. Diversity is one of the greatest parts of our planet. You can learn so much from just walking in a world you are not familiar with. Explore the world you are surrounded by, even if it is ten feet outside your front door. There is bound to be something you never expected, waiting for you
