there's a war inside me raging and tearing ripping and diseasing every happy feeling i have. there's a war inside me that, even when i am asleep continues to creep and crawl into the corners of my memories. and just when i feel that the fires have burned down and i can breathe again, someone lights a match and the war begins once more.

I'm a nineteen-year-old girl living in California. My passions include all things art; painting, writing, designing, music and much more. Currently I am on a journey towards attending Otis College of Art and Design and majoring in graphic design, in which I will be able to use powerful imagery and words to make an idea easily understandable and accessible to people all around the world. With graphic design I hope to call attention to worldly concerns and urge others to stand up for what they believe in.
