About Me

I luv to laugh and have fun...I love to be in environments that spark my creativity - art shows, fashion shows, underground hip hop spots/concerts, poetry venues, watching dance battles and live DJs...I love to try new things...I'm creative(painting,drawing,screenprinting etc.), ambitious, socially conscious, dramatic, funny, and pretty random...my relationship with God, my family and friends means everything to me! As a recent college grad, I am eager to begin work in the fashion industry and start my own small apparel company in the near future...check out one of my designs in the interests section....
