ABOUT
Hi! I'm Lara, a Textile Designer and Artist.
​
I'm a May '22 North Carolina State University graduate with a BS in Fashion and Textile Design (Textile Design concentration) and a BA in Anthropology. I grew up in Chapel Hill, NC and am now based in Boulder, CO.
​
I love to express myself through weaving, drawing, photography, and exploring new technologies. I'm passionate about textile history and emotional and ecological design. Artistically, I'm inspired by Bauhaus and surreal aesthetics.
Thank you for visiting my portfolio and don't hesitate to reach out. :)
