What makes your style stand out?

I’m interested in the relationship between the past and a not-so-far-off cyber future, what queerness and resistance would look like in those eras, so I usually mix elements of tribal or ritual wear alongside futuristic or modern-day garments while still looking cohesive. I speak five languages, and I like the idea that I’m somehow promoting a more global mindset by making people question not just my gender, but also what planet and timeline my style ideas come from.

What would you do with $20,000?

I’d use the winnings to elevate the brutalist and industrial jewelry I’ve been making, and take my brand to the next level with interactive art installations and performances to give back to the community that’s uplifted me in Salt Lake City. To me, fashion is about world building and I’m eager to share the places I’ve dreamed up. Finding the support to make it a sustainable pathway as a career would mean everything to me.
