For my Senior Capstone, I developed an expandable line for Crocs called Sensory Crocs. The Sensory Crocs line intends to offer practical and soothing footwear choices for individuals who experience sensory sensitivity, including those within the Autistic community. These individuals may find traditional shoes distressing or uncomfortable. The collection strives to lessen excessive sensory input while increasing comfort by introducing adaptable design elements that can be customized based on the individual's preferences. This ultimately equips such persons with self-assurance in their everyday endeavors and fosters inclusion within the fashion industry.

Personal Look Book
Fashion has always been my favorite way of expressing myself. This project allowed me to showcase who I am to the world through my aesthetics and style. I was able to curate twelve looks within the capacity of my wardrobe, representing all my personas that embody my identity. Working in a studio brought out my skills in creative direction as well as managing a fabulous team in a professional manner. It's safe to say this project exceeded my expectations.
My Favorite Projects
This mock advertisement was the first time I took on the role of creative director of a shoot. It was love at first sight. In developing this advertisement for Harley-Davidson, I had to put myself in the brand’s shoes performing extensive research, planning, and concept building to achieve the finished product. This project granted me the privilege of working with Savannah Harley-Davidson to bring my vision to life while also getting the chance to model with their spectacular bikes. Thinking in the mindset of Harley-Davidson showed me how having an open-mind perspective, and a strong motive behind your work will deliver the best results.

3D Design Development
Before this project, I never thought I would be making a dress out of curtain blinds. This project aimed to bring a 2D design process to life in 3D form with no restrictions to material or construction methods. Gaining inspiration from an abstract painting by Carla Accarddi displaying an array of color swatches, I immediately made the decision to make a dress out of curtain blinds. Definitely being one of my most challenging projects yet, creating this avant-garde piece put my critical thinking and design skills to the test. This project shows how fashion is not only exclusive to being functional in everyday life, but to be functional in art.
