"My passions come from embracing the lifestyle of stoicism, for it builds a mentality of resistance and integrity. Since I believe my true purpose is to be a gift to the world (or simply the next person encountered), I want to continue to aim for projections that would aid society's haunting social issues. When I design for myself or others, I want to make sure that there is a deeper purpose behind what one can actually see. I do not see fashion as merely another resourceful income or attraction, but I see fashion as a continuous way to reveal a powerful message.
