mami hello

About Me

i'm a creature of design and visual aesthetic, and sometimes thats all i'm thinkin about...what to create next, how to push myself, what i want to dip into, and if i don't know how, then how i can get to learning how to do it. i've graduated from usc and i swear i feel all my years of being book smart fading away gradually, and that scares me, because i've always been an intellect at heart. i don't ever want to stop gaining knowledge, because, as true as truth can get it, knowledge is power. i want to measure my own success in the leaps and bounds i make across all creative continents, and each day is a new opportunity to travel the distance. don't get me wrong, there are days that i prefer shopping because i really really do love a good outfit and/or some fresh kicks, chillin' in the city of LA with dance folk, homies from SC, or the homie homies from the 805, or curling up in bed, content in just watchin' a movie with my man, speaking of which, i have a good one that keeps me happy, grounded, and inspired (lucky, right? G x G untouchable!), and really, i'm just tryin' to make my talents work for me so that i can embrace, enjoy, and live my life the way i see fit...while i'm doin that, hip hop remains my neverending soundtrack. I love to get down with my family supergalacticbeatmanipulators although its been a long time since i've been able to...the other crew i rep hard is the fohos (christank, jo, wobz)....and right now i'm gettin' my dancing in where i can, and thats with the lovely ladies of the tribe called SHEROES.
this is the way i rock my fit
this is the way i rock my kicks
she's such an inspiration.
