My name is Sophia Bell and I'm a sophomore at Marist College pursuing a BFA in fashion design. Since I was young, I loved drawing and painting, as well as using whatever I could find around my house or in my yard to create something new. As I began to explore the art world, I fell in love with fashion design. Over the past few years, I have been working on sewing, honing my ability to draw the fashion figure, developing new and innovative designs, and integrating fashion and art. I am passionate about finding new ways to make my art and my fashion sustainable and I try to integrate new ways of thinking about the world into my designs. In my free time, I love to dance and spend time with my 2 sisters and the rest of my family.
