"Most of my pieces have deep meanings behind them, being based on emotion, experiences, culture, and more. I want to transfer this into a wearable form."

"My design inspiration typically comes from prompts that I come up with. I have the most fun designing clothing around the idea of it being worn somewhere very specific."
