Bold PointsBio
Hello. I am a 21-year-old college student. I have autism and chronic pain but I don't let that stop me from working hard towards my goal. I plan to become a designer of a sustainable clothing brand in the future. It combines two of my passions, the arts and sciences. I want to create a company that is inclusive of many body sizes and types, disabled and abled, and one that doesn't exploit garment workers. I have a late start in my pursuits but that won't deter me.
