Education
I studied at Parsons Paris The New School for Design, majoring in Art, Media, and Technology. My work primarily focused on sculpture and product design, but I also developed a strong passion for photography and short films. During a student exchange year at the National Art School in Paris, I specialized in photography and mastered French. For my thesis project, I created a short film in Mexico City and a sculpture installation that explored the theme of waste management.
