What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it’s rooted in everything I’ve overcome and where I come from. My Chicano heritage shapes my sense of pride, artistry, and boldness. Fashion is my storytelling—an expression of confidence, resilience, and individuality. I take risks, mix influences, and embrace both strength and vulnerability. As part of the LGBTQ+ community, I use fashion to inspire authenticity and empower others to live boldly.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be curating collections for individuals who’ve ever felt like they didn’t fit in or belong. Fashion, to me, is about creating a safe space for self-expression, and I want to style, & design for those who need that the most. Seeing them walk confident, unapologetic, and celebrated — would be the ultimate fulfillment of my dream.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20k, I’d not only invest in my fashion journey, but also create opportunities for people who feel like outsiders in fashion. I’d use it to curate inclusive collections and safe spaces where individuality is celebrated, helping others see themselves on the runway with pride.
