What makes your style stand out?

My style stands out because it’s inspired by everything around me — from my home in Hawai‘i to the textures of nature, bold couture pieces, and runway shows. I draw from flowers, plants, animals, cosplay, and sculpting to create looks that blend emotion, culture, and imagination into wearable art. Fashion lets me transform inspiration into identity.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is to be recognized for my style in a magazine, sitting front row or walking a runway in couture. I want my looks to tell stories that deserve to be seen — to prove that art, culture, and creativity can come from anyone, anywhere.

What would you do with $20,000?

I just got married — and I designed and made my own wedding outfit. I’d use part of the $20,000 to start a new chapter with my husband and fund our honeymoon in New Zealand. I’d also invest in a new camera to keep creating, since mine was stolen after a break-in. Fashion storytelling is my passion, and this would help me rebuild and keep inspiring through my work.
