Style is self-expression. The right piece transforms you, thrifted vintage & vibrant finds reflect who I am and where I’ve been.
What makes your style stand out?
My style tells a story before I ever speak. I blend raw texture, vintage soul, and unexpected details to create something that feels lived-in and human. Every piece I wear carries a bit of history, emotion, or rebellion — like wearable art pulled from a life fully felt.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream moment would be creating an editorial or exhibit that merges fashion and art — something that shows how style can heal, transform, and connect people. Standing in a space surrounded by others who see themselves reflected in the work — that’s the kind of fashion moment I live for.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would invest in expanding The Art Table, my community arts initiative in Northwest Indiana. The funds would go toward free creative workshops, supplies for emerging artists, and building a space where art, fashion, and storytelling collide — helping others find their voice through self-expression.
