emiliano cruz-marsted
student at usc roski

My name is Emiliano Cruz-Marsted, a 20 year old student at the University of Southern California's Roski School of Art and Design pursuing a BFA in design.

I initially became a designer because at 12 years old I could not fit into mens clothing I wanted to wear, so I made it myself.

Since then my designs are centered around both functionality and deviation from what might be called "traditional." Learning, growing, and continuously failing has allowed me to grow as a designer since first picking up a sewing machine.
