I'm passionate about expressing myself fearlessly via style. In order to communicate my story, I love to create bold, eclectic styles.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is shaped by my perspective as a dancer. I'm drawn to dynamic textures and silhouettes that create a sense of movement, even when I'm standing still. Ultimately, my style stands out because it’s an authentic expression of who I am—it’s confident, fluid, and always has a story to tell.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Stepping onto the stage for my first sold-out show wearing a custom piece that tells my story. The outfit would be designed to move with me, amplifying my performance and sharing my journey without a single word. For me, that's the moment fashion truly becomes a legacy.
What would you do with $20,000?
This $20,000 would be a foundational investment in the future my mother and I are building together. Since my father passed away when I was 10, she has been my only living parent and greatest supporter. This award would alleviate the financial pressure on us, allowing me to finish my education debt-free and immediately invest in launching my career. It's my goal to create the stability she has worked so hard to provide for me.
