styling has taught me to be a listener. It’s a language of empathy and connection: it’s why i love creative direction.

What would you do with $20,000?
I’d use it to deepen my research in sustainable textiles and experimental construction turning concept-driven ideas into tangible collections that tell stories through form and texture. I’d also put it toward building my first independent studio. A space to experiment, produce, and share designs that speak to individuality and self-discovery. I want to build a community of people who share the same values in design and self mastery.
