Major: Biomedical Engineering and Classics Essay,

Art, Fashion

I didn't really start out as a fashion designer. I'm studying Biomedical Engineering and Classics here at USC, and I want to pursue a career in prosthetics. Nevertheless, I've stumbled upon clothing design just under two years ago, and it started when I wanted to be a Grizzly Bear for Halloween. I couldn't find what I was looking for so I decided to make it. I took a giant teddy bear, cut off its head and sewed it by hand onto the hood of a sweatshirt. That one instance grew into a hobby and then into an obsession very quickly! I loved that I could make something from scratch with my hands and when I was done, it would be presented on someone' s body. People became like walking art galleries to me.
