Fibers and Textiles
Freshmen year of my undergraduate degree is when I took my first weaving class. This opened the door of possibilities of creating with my hands through fibers. The knowledge aligned with my degree in Interior Design, creating the dialouge of how textiles are made and the possibilities I could further in my practices.
