Notes from the Process
I spent a month building a model to out-predict my gut, then had to sit through a World Cup final rooting against my own probabilities.
Six weeks the summer before college, in a program built for students like me (first-generation, low-income) and what it taught me about navigating a system that wasn't designed with us in mind.
The salon, the data, the gap nobody had software for, and why threading is the industry I had to build for first.
More notes on the projects and the seasons, posted as I finish them.
