What inspired your love for fashion and fashion design?
What inspired me the most for fashion and fashion design is the idea that I can create something from nothing that people enjoy wearing. I’m also inspired by designers that create pieces that create trends rather than follow them. 2 such designers include Jerry Lorenzo and Daniel Patrick.
What is the first thing you ever designed?
The first thing I designed was a t-shirt that featured a digitally printed design of a woman in a ski mask shushing the viewer. My brand began as street wear and later transitioned to athletic wear.
How long have you been designing?
5 years.
Did you go to school for design or are you self taught?
Self taught.
Who is/are your biggest inspiration/s? (Family, Friends, Designers, etc…)
