Summary/Artist's Statement
As a child, I always had a passion for fashion design. I started out at the age of seven making tissue dresses for my dolls, which I really enjoyed making. That is when I knew I was going to create fashion as soon as I was old enough. The reason why I design is because I want to make beautiful garments for women of all sizes. I chose sportswear because I love that it is very versatile and that you can design jackets, skirts, tops, and casual dresses in a fun and unique way. My aesthetic is very sexy. I love to incorporate a lot of cut outs and revealing looks to show a woman's body in a sexy way. I also love to use any type of fabric and experiment to make it look fun and cool.
