I’m passionate about style because it lets me be creative, try new things, and embrace the weird—it’s freedom and storytelling at once.
What makes your style stand out?
What makes my style stand out is that it’s layered, like me. Being racially ambiguous, I never fit into one category—my looks shift between soft, bold, and experimental but always remain true. Portland’s unconventional spirit taught me to create without rules, and on my blog The Girls Diary I write about how fashion is more than clothing—it’s identity, it’s history, and it’s the story I carry.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is being in Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar. Growing up in Portland, a city where fashion feels “limited,” I had to imagine myself into spaces I couldn’t yet see. That dream would mean more than just the images—it would be telling my story, showing others that fashion is possible anywhere, and proving that fashion is always what you make it.
What would you do with $20,000?
With $20,000, I’d grow my modeling career with shoots, travel, and expanding my blog The Girls Diary. But it wouldn’t stop with me. I’d donate to the Joyful Heart Foundation to support women and children healing from violence. I believe fashion is political and art, it’s about community, courage, and creating space for individuality to inspire real change! <3
