About Me

I was adopted from Yerevan, Armenia, at six months old and have lived in Los Angeles, California, my entire life. My creativity began when I learned to sew and make clothes from my grandmother. In 2011, inspired by the game Minecraft, I spent hours creating houses, which steered me toward architecture and broadened my understanding of design. Throughout high school, I advanced my skills by sketching, crafting tiny models, painting, and teaching myself to be a nail tech. My journey into automotive design began when my older cousin informed me during a critique of my sketches that I had the potential to pursue a career in this field. Taking Art Center Extension classes and getting my driver’s license deepened my connection to cars and solidified my passion for automotive design.
