What makes your style stand out?

What makes me stand out is how I blend a sharp eye for trends with a genuine understanding of people. I don’t just put outfits together; I think about the story, the mood, and how a look will make someone feel. I experiment with textures, colors, and proportions in ways that are bold but still wearable. Being petite myself has also taught me to tailor and adapt pieces so they flatter any frame—skills I use to help others feel confident and stylish, too.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment would be curating a full look for a major event from concept to final fitting and seeing it walk a runway or red carpet. Not just for the glamour, but because it’s the ultimate expression of styling, creativity, and confidence coming together. Knowing that I helped someone feel powerful and beautiful in that moment would be the highlight.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000 I’d invest in expanding my fashion vision creating a small curated collection or pop-up shop that highlights inclusive, size-friendly styling. I’d also put a portion toward professional development and networking to grow my reach in the industry.
