: About Me

Michelle Christina, 1984, Blood Type A+.
Affectionate recovering materialist with highly decorated nails.

Proud bi-product of the Fashion Institute of Technology's 2009 graduating class, with a BFA in Fashion Design (minor in Asian Studies). Equally proud bi-product of SUNY Orange's 2005 graduating class, with an AAS in Visual Communications.

Assistant director of Fusion Fashion Show since 2007, former Milly NY intern, graphic design consultant for Celebrity Style-a-Holic Najwa Moses. My hobbies include web design, photography, interior decorating, and creative writing.

My most time consuming hobby, however, is blogging. But the process of blogging sort of interconnects with the process of living interestingly, doesn't it! So most of the work is unconscious.
