LA's Sweetheart

“LA’s Sweetheart” is a visual representation of my first official move out of LA to live out my dreams of being a designer for one of the biggest brands in the world. When people think of LA, they think of moving out here to live out their dreams. But growing up here is a different story. My LA story was a constant reminder of the hustle and grind. It was a reminder of friends, family, and doing more for others than they would do for myself. Leaving LA was the only selfish thing I have done in my life, and by far, it was the best decision I have made. This piece is a reminder of home and all my favorite things that remind me of home in my new home of Portland.
