Convention Portfolio

Mestiza Makes is an AAPI + queer owned apparel and art brand based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Being born overseas, my designs are inspired by my AAPI + queer culture, Harajuku fashion, anime, and more. Community building is very important to me so part of proceeds go towards various mutual aid groups.
