About

I'm a multidisciplinary creative passionate about blending fashion, tattooing, design and storytelling into a life of purpose and expression. I'm currently studying Apparel Merchandising & Product Development with minors in Innovation & Entrepreneurship, AMPD Global Experience, and Italian. I run Vacant, a lifestyle brand centered around introspection and creative identity, and I tattoo as a form of both art and connection. My long-term vision is to live and work in Italy for 3-4 years after college—building global creative partnerships, expanding Vacant into a meaningful brand, and hosting tattoo tours across the world. I'm currently seeking global fashion internships, studio apprenticeships, and collaborative opportunities with brands or creatives who share a vision for authentic, purpose-driven work. Let’s connect — I’m always open to inspiration, mentorship, and ideas. Portfolio Link: Portfolio: https://portfolio.uark.edu/peck-creative/
