Now who is Audrey as...?
A student
In my media, arts, and design studies I do not consider myself an “I paint and draw” artist. I am more of an ideas and culture person. Art through perspective, not through a canvas. I enjoy research into brands and their history, deep brainstorms into strategy, and keeping up to date with the current societies needs.
In my English studies I have dealt with in-depth analysis of East Asian Literature, experimented with play writing, and became obsessed with film adaptations. There is nothing I love more than discussing a book and getting into heated arguments about what exactly an author meant to do with a piece.
An actual person
Coffee has been a big part of my life— not to sound like Lorelai Gilmore. It has been my most consistent job since I was 15. Whether at my family’s cafe in Old Town Alexandria or at school in Harrisonburg, where I’ve worked all four years of college, it’s where I’ve found some of my best friends, the coolest music, and, of course… a caffeine addiction.
A cafe's most perfect activity, reading, has been one of my safe spaces since I looked like that little girl on the right. From classics to philosophy to modern dystopian, I am in love with the connections that can be made from the author to the reader through words.
In the spring of 2025 I studied abroad in London, England which was a lift changing experience for me. There my passion for literature, theater, and the studies of different cultures strengthened, and I was given new perspectives on how to view the world.
What I've been loving lately
Outside of the classroom I have a never ending supply to media and art that I like to consume. Good reads, letter boxd and my friends are normally the outlet of my obsession, but here are some things I have been into recently.
