What makes your style stand out?

I layer from head to toe– lace, belts, necklaces, etc. To some, my accessories might look like a random mix of beads and metals, but there’s intention behind each and every piece I put on my body. Whether I’m building a look around a color palette, a certain vibe, or a piece that holds nostalgia, all of my outfits tell some kind of story. I am deeply inspired by the colors, silhouettes and textures of my childhood. I love a bold, colorful moment, but I’ll never pass up a chance to dress edgy.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be the chance to share my personal style and creativity with a wider audience– whether that’s through a creative collaboration or simply being seen and appreciated for how I express myself through fashion. I’d love to get the chance to inspire others to embrace their individuality, experiment boldly with clothes and find joy in getting dressed every day.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, I’d start by putting a large portion into savings for the future. I’d use the rest to grow my upcycling journey– my dream is to one day see people around the world wearing my one-of-a-kind pieces. I also want to be a stylist, so use some of it to help me build a strong portfolio and help me get through the next several years of college. This would hopefully give me more options and exposure by the time I graduate and enter the work force.
