I love to create art because it is healing. Fashion gives me a way to express myself and be proud of something.

My favorite type of art to create is colorful, fun garments. Whether it’s a bag, a hat, or a shirt, color is always the first thing to catch a person’s eye. I love exploring vibrant palettes to see how different colors interact and play off one another. Ultimately, I aim to design garments that feel authentic and eccentric, using fashion as a medium to tell a story with color.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration within myself and staying true to me. Since a child, I grew up loving to play in clothes and put on outfits, and one thing I always find myself doing when making a garment, is going back to those old photos to find inspiration. I drive off the want to keep individuality alive and influence others to stay authentic and expressive.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would continue my future in fashion design. Currently, the financial burden of tuition weighs heavily on my family and often overshadows the joy of learning. This funding would take away those barriers, allowing me to stay in school and continue collaborating with other creatives. The $25,000 would be the support and push I need to stay on path and becoming the best at what I do.
