Where My Journey Began ❦

Hi there! I’m an aspiring Visual Merchandiser currently studying Fashion Merchandising at Virginia Commonwealth University. My journey into this field truly began in 2024 when I joined Kate Spade New York as a Stylist. During my time there, I developed hands-on experience in visual merchandising, product knowledge, communication, and POS operations, which strengthened both my technical skills and my passion for creating meaningful in-store experiences.

A Mission in Full Bloom

I’m driven by the belief that “Love, Beauty, Creativity, Empathy, and Equity Can Bloom Anywhere.” This mission shapes how I approach visual storytelling, fashion spaces, and consumer connection. Whether it's curating displays or building environments that feel welcoming and inclusive, I see merchandising as a powerful way to communicate emotion, authenticity, and intention.

Passions That Shape My Vision

Outside of work and school, I’m most inspired by vintage fashion and the dreamy, atmospheric feel of older Japanese cinema. I’m drawn to pieces that feel like they’ve already lived a few lives—faded fabrics, romantic silhouettes, and details that don’t try too hard but still say something. I love the kind of visuals that feel both nostalgic and a little off-center, like a memory that blurs the line between real and imagined.

Those influences shape how I think about visual merchandising: soft, expressive, and slightly unconventional. I’m not interested in displays that just fill space—I want to create moments that linger, even after someone walks away.
