Rae Bloom
I am a potter and industrial designer . At 13, I found myself in the heart of the Atlanta clay community where I learned and grew into the artist I am today. My work can be found in galleries throughout the country as well as at local art festivals. Finding a love for form and functional art has paved a path into professional design practice within a variety of client design projects. My love for entrepreneurship found through ceramics has fueled my dream of launching a startup- an endeavor I am currently pursuing through my project NaloPack.
Since the beginning of high school, I have proudly and openly embraced my queerness. For me, gender has always been a form of rebellion, granting me the freedom to be whomever I want and carve out my unique path. I consider this non-conformity to be one of my superpowers rather than a weakness or vulnerability.
