Fashion future is an opportunity for inspiration and collaboration.
Fashion has always beenCALIFORNIA a way for me to engage with people. Growing up in the vibrant beach town of Santa Cruz, I was constantlyCOLLEGE inspired by the ocean OF with theTHE surf and ARTS skate culture, which was my motivation to explore clothing as a creative outlet. I enjoy using garments as a blank canvas, and with graphics, embroidery and appliqué work, I am able to give a look into my world. CCA was founded in 1907 by Frederick Meyer to provide an education for artists and designers that would integrate both theory and practice in the arts.
