Brandon Ramos
I’m a fashion student who thrives on storytelling through clothes and visuals. I’m still building my portfolio, but everything I make comes from a place of honesty and curiosity. I like pushing my ideas until they feel real.
I believe personality and rawness matter more than perfection, whether it’s a garment, video, or concept.
