What makes your style stand out?

I have no limitations to what I am capable of wearing and creating, and as a designer it's important for me to make a statement. By creating powerful silhouettes through the use of textures, fabrics and color I am able to carefully curate and bring to life my otherworldly visions. I imagine the clothes that I wear and design are made for the highest self, the best versions of who we are and who we want to be.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

I want to build a career in fashion design where my creativity, talent and dedication can bring me financial stability. Fashion has always been more than just clothing to me. It's my way to communicate, inspire change, and to build community. My dream and goal is not only to establish myself in the industry, but to use that platform to advocate for fair pay across all areas of fashion.

What would you do with $20,000?

The first thing I would do with the $20,000 is invest it in my fashion design brand, allowing myself to take bigger risks in this industry. Having this money would change the trajectory of my career, here, in New York. Being able to expand my resources, skills, and visibility would mean the world to me. I believe that what I am able to design through fashion is powerful. It gives me a purpose, and I want to be in the position where I can continue to design freely for the rest of my life.
