Creatives Minding Their Business is a segment I launched at @ringlingcollegebusiness @ringlingcollege , where storytelling meets entrepreneurship.

It brings together founders, students, and creatives to explore what it takes to build a world around art, creativity, and ideas. Through shared stories and entrepreneurial thinking, it encourages future creative professionals to see new possibilities for their work and develop the agency to sustain their practice, create opportunities, and contribute to culture.

Because every founder has a story, every student has a dream, and every conversation can be the beginning of something new.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us! Can’t wait for what’s next!

$🏆 Honored to become the winner of Miami Vibes 3.0 with my project, “Breaking the Crown”. This project was created in response to the 250th anniversary of American Independence, not by repeating historical symbols, but by reinterpreting the meaning of freedom through a contemporary and future-oriented perspective. The core of this project is built around the powerful historical concept of “Join or Die”, a message that reminded people during the formation of America that without unity, neither freedom nor survival is possible. In “Breaking the Crown”, the heel represents the Crown and centralized systems of power, gradually collapsing and breaking apart. The fractures are inspired by the Liberty Bell, not merely as a historical reference, but as a symbol of breaking control and beginning independence. In contrast, the front structure of the shoe is formed through interconnected translucent strands, representing a future built not on individual dominance, but on connection, solidarity, and interdependence. For me, “Join or Die” was never just a historical slogan, it became the central language of this project: the idea that only together can people break outdated structures and create a new form of freedom. The step-activated lighting reinforces the idea that freedom is never fixed or guaranteed, it is something that must continuously be recreated through movement and human choice. This project was developed through a combination of conceptual thinking, hand sketching, and AI-assisted design processes, with the belief that AI should expand human imagination, not replace it. Special thanks to Luis Valenzuela and the Miami Shoe Museum for creating this opportunity and supporting independent and forward-thinking designers. I’m also deeply grateful to the jury members and everyone who supported me throughout this journey. #miamivibes3 #breakingthecrown #joinordie #saraarchitectural #saraarchitecturalai$

Got bit by the Tennis Mosquito 🎾

I didn’t grow up with a racket in my hand. But somewhere between the missed shots and the first clean hit, something shifted. Tennis is turning into this fresh feeling I cannot shake.

Now it’s the sound of the ball, the rhythm of the rally, the quiet obsession to get just a little better every time. Proof that it’s never “too late” to fall in love, sometimes, the best passions find you when you least expect them. 🎾

Testing @lordsofsun clothing! It feels really nice!

Art Beats & Lyrics

I had the pleasure of collaborating with @jackdaniels_us this past month for the Art Beats & Lyrics series. Grateful for the opportunity, it’s been a while since I felt that kind of creative rush, and it meant a lot.

Big thank you to my friends and family for the constant support. It truly takes a village. Let’s continue…
