About Me
I have always been a creative mind. I think I started designing in my mother's womb to be honest. At 2 years old my grandmother found me smothering her back door window with a stick of butter- one of my first masterpieces. I eventually changed my medium to crayons and covered her house in its entirety. I never liked dolls. I would cut their hair off and turn them into a half doll and stuffed animal creation, then kinetically animate them. I grew up in California and eventually transitioned to Arizona. During my childhood my family has had formative influence on me. They have always encouraged me to express myself. They are my backbone. They believed in my work and vision. Throughout middle school and high school, I expressed my individuality by wearing differently themed headdress daily as a way of rebelling and non-conforming. My early talent steered me towards fashion earning a four-year full scholarship to prestigious Pratt Institute in New York. Graduating with Highest distinction and winning numerous national and international design awards my design talent became intentional. My sense of theatricality is apparent in all of my work, from my breakthrough as part of costume development on Walt Disney's theatrical production of the Lion King on Broadway to working with the fashion Czar of the Philippines Pitoy Moreno.
I love learning- I was accepted into the Harvard Business School online cert. program and have my completion of entrepreneurship essentials.
I have showcased my collections during Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week, Olympus Fashion Week, LA Fashion Week, Barrett- Jackson, Scottsdale Fashion Week, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox Studios, the New York Jumbo Tron, and the Carousel de Louvre in Paris.
My designs have been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, WWD, New York times, People, Elle Japan, Harper's Bazaar Japan, Fashion Television Paris, Full Frontal fashion, to name few and I have also designed for several celebrities. Long story short- none of that really matters.
I know my talent is GOD given and with that said I stand for the highest good. I know who I am, and I know what I want.
I want to force the industry to rethink its position by challenging conventions and dismantling them. My designs promote the individual wearing the garment. I design for everyone, every race, every gender, every color, every height, every weight, every income level, all forms and walks of life. I just know that I strive to be the best.
I am unapologetic about wanting to change the perception of beauty. There is not a canned definition and ultimately my designs WILL NOT transform you into a beautiful person as marketing ads, commercials, social media suggest these days. You have to know who you are and what you want out of life.
Life is good, we are all broken sometimes but know that faith and love will overcome anything. My goal in life is to create the world's most creative, luxurious fashion brand. I hope to give back to this world because what I value the most is life. I hope to feed every mouth that is hungry. I hope to give to those who are sick. You could have all the money in the world but without health, family, and love you have absolutely nothing. It's All4God in the end.
I wish for you everything that you want in life!!!!
