For my thesis, I explore the traditional and cultural Dominican values that I grew up on. I also connect my Dominican heritage to the New York City culture that also raised me. I come from an immigrant family that migrated to the Lower East Side of NYC in the 1960s. Early on in my career, I unknowingly blended these two different aspects of my cultural experience through my designs. Dios, Patria, y Libertad is my perspective on the elements that make me who I am.
