My Story
For the last couple of years I have been working as a Mental Health Advocate in different capacities at different organizations but mainly as a Peer or Person with Lived Experience and utilizing my recovery story to inspire and partner with other people who may be struggling in their journey. Before Working as a Mental Health Advocate I practiced a lot of my foundational skills in customer service while working in food service. But behind working jobs I have always maintained being a multi passionate artist and worked to find ways to share my work with the world in some way.
I see the grand designs in fashion that I enjoy as a merge of the type of art I enjoy creating. I deeply enjoy the visual art of textiles and how abstract and emotional it can make you feel. I enjoy performance art and how a particular gown however muted in color can fill the room with its beauty and shock audiences with its movement. I enjoy installation art and how the combination of textiles, styles and techniques can change the architecture and purpose of a room. When I was graduating high school with the naive certainty that I knew what I would be doing with my life I never thought that I would end up here.
