What makes your style stand out?

The thing that makes my style stand out is my drive to live boldly, embracing love and staying resilient. In the real world, my disability is overlooked and I’m bogged down with physical limitations. But with fashion, there are no limits. I don’t try to fit in, I dress to express who I really am, breaking barriers and turning stigma into strength. Living with SMA has taught me that you only get one life, so I choose to live it authentically, with confidence and heart.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is to roll onto the global runway (in Milan, of course!), upbeat dance music in the background, fans screaming my name, while wearing a high end outfit that fits my fearless persona, preferably a custom sleeveless hoodie, combined with fingerless gloves, jewelry shining under the light, with either some joggers, cargos, basketball shorts, or skinny jeans. Some of my outfits are even loosely inspired from a variety of video games and anime!

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d help my parents, because everything I’ve achieved is thanks to their love. I’d invest in a beach wheelchair for freedom and buy something special for my nurses, the best I’ve ever had. I’d also invest in setting up equipment for my dream of voice acting, bringing more representation to other disabled voice actors. The rest I’d put toward my fashion vision, creating looks that blend gaming, anime, and streetwear while making fashion inclusive and accessible for all.
