About Me
Hi! It’s very nice to meet you! My name is Sophie Wells, and I’m a Los Angeles- and Washington, D.C.-based creative. I’m a junior at the University of Southern California, studying Design with minors in Business and Product Design.
Growing up in Washington, D.C., I was surrounded by an incredible array of art and culture museums, which shaped my love for the arts. I vividly remember wandering through the halls of the Smithsonian American Art Museum when a piece by Robert Rauschenberg caught my eye. His experimental and innovative approach to art left a lasting impression on me. The way he challenged traditional boundaries continues to inspire me to push the limits in my own work, embracing creativity and exploration in every project.
I strive to create experiences that leave a lasting impact. Whether through product design, branding, or spatial experiences, my goal is to push boundaries and craft meaningful interactions that resonate with people.
