HELLO,

​

IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU. MY NAME IS ADRIAN SANTIAGO JR, AND I AM A FASHION DESIGN MAJOR AT THE SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN. 

​

I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE ARTS. DRAWING, PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEOGRAPHY, AND EVEN MUSIC HAVE ALL BEEN OUTLETS FOR MY CREATIVE NATURE AND IDEAS. HOWEVER, FASHION WAS A LATE DISCOVERY ON MY PART. I WAS FIRST INTRODUCED TO FASHION DURING THE PANDEMIC WHEN I WAS IN NEED OF A HOBBY, LEADING ME TO BUY A SEWING MACHINE. AS SOON AS THE MACHINE RAN UNDER MY FINGERTIPS, I KNEW I HAD FOUND MY CALLING. 

​

SINCE THEN, I WORKED BRIEFLY AT DAVID'S BRIDAL, GAINING FOUNDATIONAL KNOWLEDGE ON HAND-SEWING TECHNIQUES, ALL WHILE FINISHING MY ASSOCIATES OF ARTS AT MY LOCAL UNIVERSITY. TRANSFERRING TO SCAD, I HAVE SINCE EXPANDED AND IMPROVED MY TECHNICAL SKILLS WHILE EXPLORING THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES OF THE CONCEPTUAL.

​

AS I HEAD INTO SENIOR YEAR, I FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE FOUND WHO I AM AS AN ARTIST, AND AM THRILLED TO SHARE WHO I AM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. MY FOCUS IS TO HIGHLIGHT THE POWER FASHION HAS AS AN ART AND BRING THAT INTO MY COLLECTION, THROUGH THE CLOTHES, ILLUSTRATIONS, PHOTOSHOOTS, FILM, AND MORE.
