Where do you find inspiration?My mom and my brother, they are my biggest supporters and life with them inspires me to create my pieces. I am also inspired by my friends, their unique interests and hobbies inspires me to create pieces from their uniqueness.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off my mom and dad’s mortgage. My dad passed away a few years ago and my mom has been so strong trying to handle things financially. I help her with things, so the $25,000 would go to paying off the house for her.
