Vintage. Intentional. Androgynous. I thrift with purpose and let meaningful accessories do the talking.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out by reimagining vintage through a modern streetwear lens. I take timeless pieces and bring them into today with fresh detail, layering, and narrative. Every look tells a story—whether it’s personal, cultural, or tied to mental health. My purpose is to use fashion as a tool for connection, creativity, and healing, making people feel both seen and inspired through style that carries meaning.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is opening a High Street store that blends coffee and vintage, where sustainable fashion directly supports mental health advocacy in Columbus. I want to give back to the hospital that helped me when I needed it most and create a space where style and healing meet. Beyond the store, I dream of styling artists like Billie Eilish and collaborating with bands like Twenty One Pilots, who inspired me to believe that anyone from anywhere can do anything.
What would you do with $20,000?
Winning this grant would allow me to finally launch my long-anticipated brand, Outlook Good. I have the vision, designs, and plans ready—I just need the funding to bring it to life. This support would help me create a sustainable vintage streetwear brand rooted in community, creativity, and mental health advocacy, turning my purpose into impact.
