My style centers around my love of crochet. Pushing the limits of what crochet can do has given the opportunity to upgrade my wardrobe.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is not only curated by created by me. I tailor my work to my own tastes so when I wear a piece I love it. My inspiration often comes from pop culture and media I enjoy; the excitement I have to wear work that reflects the things I love shows. There is also a great feeling of pride when somebody compliments my work and I can then explain how I designed it and created it!
What’s your dream fashion moment?
As somebody with a costuming and wearable art background, it would be extremely meaningful to me to share my niche crochet work with the fashion world. The art and style I have now has been honed over the last fifteen plus years I've been crocheting. I like to dress to make my inner child happy, and that whimsy is something I think others deserve to enjoy as well.
What would you do with $20,000?
$20,000 would truly be a lifechanging amount of money to me. I would be able to invest this money both into myself and my art. I have become a full time caregiver for a loved one, and stay at home unable to work outside of the house do to this. This money would allow me to create a studio space so that I don't have to give up on my fashion dreams while still caring for my family. I have done a lot with the resources I have, but I know I will be able to create even better looks with some help.
