Currents of Accessibility

My work is inspired by the ocean and its connection to my heritage and experience. As a visually impaired designer, accessibility is deeply personal to me. I've integrated Braille into my garments, creating Braille tags that offer a new way of experiencing fashion, telling a story, empowering independence, and bridging the gap between inclusivity and high fashion to ensure clothing is accessible to everyone. This project celebrates resilience, balance, and the power of design to connect us all.
