What makes your style stand out?

What makes me stand out the most is I'm always choosing things that break the mold. I have never followed trends, I make them myself. My colorful & effervescent personality parallels my eccentric & vibrant wardrobe. I have never been shy to wear something that seems flamboyant, unorthodox, or bizarre to others, if I like it, who cares what others think! Maybe it's my mindset & confidence, but people always love my style.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be to walk a runway fashion show in Milan & Paris in designs that speak to who I am as a person & a creative entrepreneur. I would love to show others that style is not something that you can purchase, it's not about cost, brand, or prestige, you are born with it or you hone it with practice, just like any talent. You must possess it, you can't manufacture it.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I could begin to bring my dreams to fruition by creating a fashion empire. For many years, I have been designing & sporting my own unique unisex beachwear. It's been my favorite pastime: draw out designs I can't find anywhere, buy fabric in the colors and styles I never see, and direct the creation, in turn manufacturing one-of-a-kind pieces. I would love to be able to impart my fashion wisdom & style onto others who are looking for some guidance & a little glistening pizzazz.
