ABOUT ME
Hi there!
My name is Selma Danesi-Vold. I am an aspiring designer. Currently based in New York, I am originally from France and Norway.
I am enrolled at Parsons School of Design where I am majoring in Product Design and minoring in philosophy, with a strong background in fine arts.
My design practice extends over numerous fields, but I mainly focus on fashion products, jewelry and cosmetics.
I aim not only to create beautiful products, but also explore design as a language able to communicate the conceptual intuitively.
