What makes your style stand out?

My style lives somewhere between tomboy chic and vintage edge...think '70s silhouettes with '90s attitude. I wear my wild curls with that surfer energy and a touch of city grit. I turn basics into statements with layered jewelry, bold sneakers, and a luxury bag. High socks and Converse always! (Never sandals.) I live for bright colors, bold risks, and standing out. I started MAEHEM Studio because everyone’s style deserves a little chaos.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is being named in Forbes 30 Under 30 and having people look to me for confidence, joy, and an unapologetic, magnetic style. I want my energy to remind others that fashion should feel fun and fearless. As Marilyn Monroe said (and my senior year quote in high school), “It’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring,” and I’ll stand by that forever.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’m an investments analyst by day and the founder of MAEHEM Studio by night, a custom embroidery brand built on confidence, color, and chaos. I always knew I was destined for more, but I never knew a passion like this until embroidery found me. $20,000 would let me focus full-time on MAEHEM, grow production, and turn my side hustle into my dream career. No matter how long it takes, I’ll work until MAEHEM becomes an empowering and fulfilling full-time career.
