What makes your style stand out?

Mixing in handmade or up cycled pieces into my everyday style makes my outfits pop the most! Layering clothing and adding accessories until an outfit feels complete, expressive and comfortable - the end goal is to look like a wearable piece of artwork. Incorporating some sort of movement into my outfit, playing with dramatic silhouettes, mixing textures, and even adding a sound element, like shoes or jewelry, complete the perfect outfit puzzle! Maximalism all the way!!

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be to host my own fashion show. Having the opportunity to have a fashion show just for my brand is a long term goal. Participating in runway shows is one of my favorite things about being a fashion designer and I’m always ready for the next fashion show opportunity!

What would you do with $20,000?

If I got privilege of winning $20,000 i would want that money to go to the fashion community. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and the fashion community keeps growing! The ability to host events like runways, shopping events or sewing workshops for the public is a dream of mine! I feel that fashion brings everyone together and want to continue that trend within my community, and would use the money to craft safe spaces for other fashion designers! I hope to create a platform to uplift the community.
