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.
