- Summary/Artist's Statement
- I have always been able to think creatively and outside the box. When I started college as a fashion design major, I was pretty much lost. But throughout my four years, I can honestly say that I know who I am, not just as a designer but as a person. My designs over this period reflect my growth, aesthetically and mentally. I describe my aesthetic as minimalistic luxury with a dash of essential and cool comfort. This reflects my personality; very down to earth and laid back, yet here to claim all my divine goodness! Designing for me is freeing and fun. It is such a good feeling knowing you designed something that was authentically you. Over the years, it's become very personal to me. I don't design just for me, I design for those who support me and continue to believe in me, which drives me to keep going.
