What makes your style stand out?

Everything I do is off the top of my head. It is all one of one. If I can think of it I can make it. I create each piece as if it is a present to myself. Every garment becomes a statement that is loud intricate and expressive. I am not creating from inspiration I am creating from what is around me and what comes to mind. Like a painting you take a step back look again and keep building until it speaks for itself. The last thing I want is to be unsure of who I am.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

I just debuted at FlyingSolo for NYFW, but my dream fashion moment is having my own show. I want to lead all creative aspects, production efforts, from WAM to lighting to stage design. Create a showcase beyond a fashion show. I want to highlight everything I am capable of: the paintings, sculptures, and ideas. Whether Paris, Tokyo, or Milan, I want to headline a moment that is unforgettable and take my full vision beyond reality. All I need is resources and the right people by me. I AM A CREATOR

What would you do with $20,000?

The funds would go straight into my business. I want to build my own line of clothes and get it out to people. I want to do full-size runs of pants, jackets, and other pieces that I think people would enjoy based on the feedback from my one of ones. The money would also go toward learning the digital side of the fashion world. Everything I do is hands-on. I know how to be creative, but I need guidance to master the technical aspects. I would use the funds for manufacturing and planning my show.
