Meet the Designer
From the first sweater that my grandmother made for me, I found a passion for art and fashion. She always taught me different ways to create things and approach the final design, such as weaving, hand-knitting, and sewing. During my childhood, I grew up with a lot of art and creative craftsmanship all around me. My grandmother’s influence also helped me to understand that fashion is my destiny. I believe that fashion is about self-expression while on the journey of pursuing my dream. Based on the clothes you wear; you can really stand out from a crowd. It’s like telling a story. Clothing is an external way of showing personality for a lot of people. That has made me want to be a fashion designer. I describe my design as feminine, with a strong sense of creativity and style.
