I am passionate about style because it speaks before words, challenges norms, and turns culture, art, and identity into bold statements.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out by drawing from the edges of culture, where pop culture meets underground, transforming these influences into bold, expressive, and unexpected works while honoring the voices and figures that shaped these communities, from the LGBTQ Ballroom Scene to fine arts communities, graffiti artists, and street bikers.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
I dream of standing at the edge of a massive set, my team moving with precision, models shifting between fittings, stylists creating bold looks, and photographers capturing the chaos. Every element drives toward one moment that feels alive. I want to build a creative agency where fashion, art, and immersive experiences merge to create shows and campaigns that leave a lasting mark on culture.
What would you do with $20,000?
As independent designer and stylist, we manage venues, staff, lighting, models, and entire collections while covering all costs. As a self-funded stylist and creative director for 10 years, $20,000 would expand Pop Triggered Creative Studio with fabrics, production equipment, and styling resources, culminating in our annual immersive Runway Presentation to celebrate the expansion. One day, I hope to focus entirely on design and styling while my team handles production.
