About Me

Hi, I’m Aljhecia (al-jesse-uh) and my pronouns are she/her/siya. I am a Pinay creative born and raised throughout the Bay Area. From the age of 4 years old, I’ve managed to bloom through adversity. Utilizing my creative curiosity, I discovered many passions of mine which include various art forms. What I value most is the growth I’ve made with my perseverance and the connections I’ve developed in the process.

I play multiple roles as I believe there's greater value in a a life full of endless possibilities than a linear line with no growth. I am currently a student at San Jose State University as a Design Studies Major with a concentration in Graphic Design and a minor in Asian American Studies. Another role is that I am a Design Associate for Empire in the Air, a local streetwear clothing brand that aims to create events and products that uplift their supporters while spreading the message "you can build your own empire too" . I am also a Community & Sales Associate at On One Studios in San Jose, CA. Our core values as a local dance studio is “community”, “growth”, and “passion”. You may also catch me online or in person selling thrifted items, personal clothes, up-cycled products, and custom merchandise!

As a student, Design Associate, and a business owner I am most passionate about being able to create as well as collaborate. I love to practice various forms of art - graphic design, photography, painting, journaling, dancing and so much more daily. Besides creating I love connecting with people. I seek opportunities to attend workshops, summits, programs, etc. to meet new people or bring friends along as well as further develop my personal growth. Through my passions I aim to share my love of art, create opportunities for others to pursue their dreams, and bridge different communities together.
