I see fashion as a powerful expression of identity, and I learned at an early age that simply getting dressed was a radical act of wellness. To me, fashion has always been a statement of truth, providing a spark of inspiration, innovation, and identity. It is a silent yet bold declaration of freedom that has played an iconic role in all of our lives. Being a catalyst for that spark––that joy-filled day-to-day moment of bliss or rebellion––is at the heart of my passion for this craft.

 

As a designer, I see the world through the lens of color, silhouettes, fit, and ever-evolving trends. I’m obsessed with the "why" of style and how it has been reinterpreted over time. I love exploring and learning every aspect of the process, always eager to discover what personal style awakens in us and what makes the consumer feel seen and powerful. As an immigrant (where cultural lines are always blurred), I enjoy being a constant observer -- a fly on the wall within a multitude of subcultures --finding beauty in all forms, whether it's in a shanty town in Jamaica or on the streets of Paris.

I have seen the world and fallen in love with every facet of its story.
