Welcome to my Portfolio...
Qué pedo! my name is Paola De La Cruz, a recent graduate from the University of Oregon where I studied Product Design. I am interested in outdoor gear, graphic design, and homeware design. I am a self-motivated student ready to apply my education to the work field with an open mind to try new mediums. My current work is very hands-on and centers around sewing, woodwork, and digital creations but I am eager to learn to grow my experience and better my future work.
Outside of work, I enjoy creating digital drawings, watching horror films, collecting knickknacks, working out, and having a good time with good people. Having been born and raised in the beautiful community of Santa Barbara, CA, surrounded by rich Hispanic culture, I've found profound inspiration shaping my personal journey and creative endeavors. As I move forward, I aspire to cultivate a deeper understanding and connection to my cultural heritage, seeking to imbue it into the fabric of my future projects.
