Projects
Love Me I’m Vulnerable is a senior thesis project exploring the sociology and anthropology of design, examining how cultural identity shapes visual language and how design reflects lived experience. Centered on the Latino American experience, the project includes a 100+ page research publication, a 10-look runway collection, and a final exhibition presenting garments, packaging, and printed work as a unified system. The phrase “Love Me I’m Vulnerable” intentionally references the romanticization of Latin culture through media while also reflecting a deeply personal process of introspection. The project investigates identity, vulnerability, and the experience of growing up as a first-generation Hispanic American, using fashion, print, and visual systems as tools for cultural storytelling.
The Love Me I’m Vulnerable thesis exhibition translated the research publication and runway collection into an immersive physical installation. The exhibition brought together garments, printed matter, packaging, and visual identity elements to create a cohesive narrative experience centered on cultural identity, memory, and vulnerability. Designed as both an academic presentation and a curated visual environment, the exhibition explored how fashion and graphic design can function together as a unified storytelling system.
Destroy Our Future (DOF) is an independent creative project focused on fashion, visual storytelling, and experimental design. The brand explores themes of identity, youth culture, reconstruction, and emotional expression through apparel, runway concepts, and visual systems.
DOF functions as both a fashion label and creative platform, combining garment design with branding, art direction, and multimedia experimentation.
DOF Apparel is a fashion design initiative centered on cut-and-sew garments, reconstructed silhouettes, and experimental streetwear. The project incorporates screen printing, patchwork, and upcycled materials to create collections that merge contemporary fashion with personal narrative and cultural influence.
The work emphasizes process-driven design and independent production while building a distinct visual language across garments, styling, and campaign imagery.
The Jíbaro Spring 2026 collection for Destroy Our Future is a runway project showcased at Bentley University, featuring 10 original looks. The collection explores patchwork, upcycling, cut-and-sew construction, and screen printing, paired with a fully developed visual identity for its accompanying marketing campaign.
Jimrat is a creative branding and apparel project exploring expressive typography, visual identity systems, and contemporary streetwear aesthetics. The project combines graphic experimentation with fashion-oriented design to create a distinct and recognizable visual language across apparel, print, and digital media.
A collection of music video projects focused on visual storytelling, styling, and creative direction. These works explore the relationship between motion, sound, fashion, and graphic language through cinematic compositions and experimental visual treatments. The projects span concept development, set design, editing, branding, and styling to create cohesive visual identities for artists and performances.
Niche was a branding exercise developed during the designer’s undergraduate studies, conceptualized as a digital wellness brand. The project explores the idea of “niches” as literal corners of physical spaces, using liminality as a framework for transforming environments into mental states. Through its brand architecture, Niche recontextualizes wellness branding as an experience that exists between space and mind.
