What makes your style stand out?

What makes my style stand out is the way I draw from cultures around the world, weaving their elements into my own unique vision. With a background in anthropology, I find endless inspiration in history, symbolism, and traditions. Each design becomes a celebration of diversity and creativity, showing that fashion can be more than clothing—it can be storytelling, connection, and a bridge between worlds.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is to show my line or model internationally—especially in Paris or Japan. Because of health and financial challenges, I’ve never had the chance to pursue something that big. Walking a runway abroad would mean more than fashion; it would be proof that with passion and perseverance, even the greatest obstacles can be overcome, and dreams that once felt out of reach can truly come to life.

What would you do with $20,000?

If I won $20,000, I would host a fashion show for my community that highlights kids and special needs children, giving them the chance to shine and celebrate creativity. I would also finally take my honeymoon, a dream long postponed. For me, this prize would not just be about personal goals, but about lifting others up, spreading joy, and showing how fashion can empower and bring people together in unforgettable ways.
