Describe your personal style?
My personal style includes Harajuku fashion, all things pink and pastel, and gore. I am a gore artist and am fairly known in the Instagram art community. I love taking cute things and making them disgusting.

Where do you go on your breaks from class?
I usually go to fix my makeup during breaks.

What is your favorite thing about FIT?
I love the diversity of the students and the acceptance of everyone.

Who or what inspires you?
I’m inspired by all things Harajuku, and things that are creepy and ironic. I also take tons of inspiration from Tyler the Creator, Poppy, and cute shows like the Care Bears. Japanese style and street fashion inspire me, too!

What do you want to do after you graduate from college?
I would love to become an animator and create a cartoon for Adult Swim based on my comic, “DELUSIONVILLE.”
