I'm currently a second-year student studying Fashion Design and History at the University of Cincinnati, actively seeking a Co-op position for the Fall 2025 semester, with a strong interest in trend forecasting and research.
With a background in ballet and theatre, combined with my studies in fashion, I draw inspiration from a variety of artistic realms. The intricate storytelling of ballet, the bold creativity of theatre, and the craftsmanship of brands like Rodarte fuel my design approach. My academic journey also includes a minor in history, which deepens my understanding of cultural context and evolution, an asset I apply to both design research and trend forecasting. This analytical lens helps me identify and interpret emerging aesthetics and historical influences in fashion, enriching the narrative of my creative work.
