  • Growing up in Los Angeles as a sixth-generation artist, Sophie has been immersed in unique arts and culture her whole life.

    Initially drawn to Pre-Medical studies, she hoped to apply her background in sculpture to a career in Surgery, ultimately finding that art and design are what she is most passionate about.

    She then pivoted to studying Art and Jewelry while preparing her portfolio at Pasadena City College.

    She is now pursuing her B.S. in Spatial Experience Design at ArtCenter College of Design, and has work currently displayed in the Hillside Gallery and 3D Display Cabinets.

    Her design approach centers on community well-being, striving to fulfill both individual and collective needs while maintaining a deep connection to the surrounding environment.
