many hats and is also responsible for
banner design, display design, photography,
creating gelato flavors and event
planning. But she also finds time to
create other art.
She also works on a

be separated from your Kori because
they are part who you are. People are
afraid to convey their inner self, especially
now when the focus is increasingly
on an unattainable standard of
perfection.”
