My name is Alexandria. I am a senior at the University of Michigan studying Art & Design and Global Media Studies. At the Stamps School of Art & Design I specialize in Photography. In my photography I emphasize the use of pre-existing and natural environments. Bringing my background to Ka-Bloom I aim to reinforce the aspect of BioDesign with reverting back to native plants.

Hi there, I’m Cassie! I’m a painter and graduate from U of M. My family and I have always held a connection to nature. Both my mother and father had a childhood filled with camping and a stress on our relationship to the environment. This love for the great outdoors carried over to my generation, thanks to the presence of my father’s mother. Out of all of us, she had the strongest connection to the Earth; her green thumb was further proof of that. It was by her example that I learned the importance of respecting the Earth and the responsibility of maintaining it. My hope for the future is to keep her legacy alive, and to encourage love, care, and awareness for our environment.
