What makes your style stand out?

It's Vibrant and loud. I love to design colorful outfits that look unique, stand out, speak for themselves. This creates the space for me to just be me as my outfits help tell my story: that being richness in experiences

What’s your dream fashion moment?

I think think fashion is more about the journey. Every experience ends and leaves desire for another. The moments, interactions, and memories made leading up to those experiences are what I'm all about. Seeing a community brought together by the love of fashion is my end goal, and I hope to create multiple moments where this happens.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would get a lot of use from the $20,00. Gaining this financial increase would allow me to worry a bit less and pursue a bit more. Examples of what I might do with it could include supporting my family or further pursuing my dream in fashion. I also would donate a portion to my friends Nonprofit which directly supports the refugee community where I live.
