⋆˙⟡ Fun Facts ⋆˚࿔
Before attending RISD, I was a self-taught artist and designer who learned how to draw through YouTube tutorials within nine months to prepare for applications.
I learned to draw on Photoshop before learning how to draw on paper. Everyone always turns to me for help with troubleshooting technology problems.
I type really fast. I also love helping others. I transcribe lectures word-for-word with step-by-step visuals and share them. Nearly my entire grade at RISD was using my art history notes during freshman year.
I have 500+ playlists on Spotify. I love curating my music to cherish those specific moments like whisking matcha or basking in the morning sunshine.
