My name’s Courtney. I’m a Design & Merchandising student attending university in Philadelphia. I don’t believe everything happens for a reason in the sense that everything in this life has been predetermined. I believe all successes and failures are earned; sometimes I take too much responsibility. I like finding things out on my own. I think in pictures and images; my memories play through my mind like films projected on a screen. I want to be the next Grace Coddington. Take me on a spontaneous trip around the world.
