Name: Analisa Nunez
Age: 25
Place of birth: Moca, Dominican Republic
Current residence: New York

I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and me and my family moved to New York when I was eight years old. When I started elementary school I couldn’t speak any English. I only knew how to ask to go to the toilet and when I spoke with my strange accent, the kids would look at me like I had ten heads.

My mother worked extremely hard so that we could visit family back home every summer. I had an amazing childhood and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

I’m a freelance Visual Merchandiser. I’ve worked in Retail since I was 16 and found my true passion in the art and creativity that goes into designing windows and merchandising a shop floor.

I started out interning and doing projects for artists, photographers and department stores to build up my portfolio.

My personal style is tomboyish!

But sometimes I like to try new things and mix-match items.

Being a woman allows me to experiment, take risks, express myself instead of keeping my thoughts bottled up and bond with my fellow sisters.

I’m Complexd because I’m awkward, passionate and artistic. I can easily wipe away my tears and be myself again in my own little way. I do this by writing or sketching my feelings, ambitions and frustrations in my notebook. Sometimes I sketch for hours until I feel better. Then, I simply crumple up that paper and throw it away because I no longer need that feeling anymore.
