What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because I blend science and fashion to create bold, expressive pieces. Through Catwalk Chemist, I transform labwear—like my signature lab coats—into statement designs that celebrate curiosity and individuality. I weave in real scientific imagery, from diffraction patterns to molecular structures, making science not just cool and approachable but truly fashionable, with labwear that has attitude and innovation at its core.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is unveiling a Catwalk Chemist collection on a global stage—think a runway where models strut in vibrant, science-inspired lab coats under lights mimicking diffraction patterns. The audience feels both the beauty of discovery and the power of self-expression. I’d love to see scientists, students, and creators wearing my pieces and feeling celebrated for their curiosity and individuality.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000 I’d invest directly into Catwalk Chemist—developing my first full line of science-inspired lab coats, sourcing sustainable fabrics, and collaborating with artists to incorporate real molecular and diffraction patterns into the designs. I’d also build an educational content platform to make science feel stylish and approachable, helping inspire the next generation of curious, creative minds.
