I'm Kiara, an 18-year-old undergraduate with a huge passion for learning and art. I’m pursuing a major in Graphic Design, and I would love the opportunity to study abroad and gain hands on experience that will enhance my education and creative pieces. It's a three week trip full of opportunities to explore new artistic styles, learn about different cultures, and deepen my understanding of the history behind art. I believe that these new experiences will help me grow as a designer and as a person.
Art has always been an extension of who I am. I want to take grasp at every opportunity I can to succeed in this field. During this trip, I plan to gather inspiration, build my portfolio, and work toward securing an internship or even future job opportunities. I'm doing my best to save up while managing college life, but it’s been difficult covering classes, materials, and other expenses out of pocket. Your support would help me cover essentials like my plane ticket, housing, meals, entry tickets, health insurance, and transportation during the trip. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. Every donation helps, no matter the size and even just sharing my campaign with others makes a big difference. I'm incredibly grateful for your support and belief in my journey!
