Hi there! I’m Sophia.🌈️✨
I identify as a Queer Indigenous Mexican-American artist and designer. I am the descendant of the Tacuate People in Oaxaca, Mexico and was raised in a small town on the Lenapewihittuk River (Delaware River) in Pennsylvania.
I am pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) with a History, Philosophy, and Social Sciences (HPSS) concentration in Gender, Sexuality, and Race in addition to a Nature, Culture, Sustainability Studies (NCSS) concentration. My studio practice combines my academic studies as it is based on identity, pride, and sovereignty.
I am interested in design with a strong focus on community engagement and community outreach. I am looking to work with organizations that intentionally center on an interdisciplinary team of designers addressing the complexities of the world around them. I am interested in design with a strong focus on collective engagement and community outreach. I believe in the power of collaboration and active participation of all individuals to form stronger collective care.
I hope to continue to bring my community outreach experiences into my design practice as I deepen my understanding of building community power.
