Hi! I’m Carmella — a recent VCUarts graduate as well as a lover of all things art, fashion, and adventure. I’m currently making the exciting move to New York City, where I hope to dive headfirst into the fashion industry and everything the city has to offer.

From sewing my own pieces to exploring museums and window shopping through city streets, I find inspiration everywhere. I’m passionate about learning, expressing myself through different art forms, and soaking up life’s little pleasures — whether that’s baking a new dessert, painting on a sunny afternoon, or getting lost in a good playlist.

I’m incredibly family-oriented (and that includes my three beloved cats), and I appreciate the peace of being surrounded by nature, whether it’s hiking, fishing, or just breathing in fresh air. I also love discovering new places, especially through food — trying out restaurants, cuisines, and local gems wherever I go.

Thanks for stopping by! I’m so glad you’re here.

My creativity is rooted in the things I care most about—like meaningful travel, sustainability, and thoughtful design. Whether I’m exploring new places, creating with intention, or supporting causes close to my heart, I’m always looking for ways to live and work with purpose.
