How long have you been designing and creating?
I have been designing now 15 years. I got started by just
simply wanting to find my style in the world, because I
see so many people do some of the same things. I was
like, "What can I do that will bring something different
from my style?" Because when I originally started out, I
was… upcycling things from Goodwill, Rescue Mission,
going to Malone's Fabric.
I taught myself everything. Before I got a sewing
machine, I was sewing everything by hand. I made [my
sister's] prom dress by hand, and I made my vest and
bowtie by hand.
What has influenced your aesthetic? Why do you
create?
My mom. She's so bright. Looking at her, she's like a
sunshine, a ray of sunshine… But I look at how she works
hard through it, and she says, "Keep going." When I look
at her, that gives me the will to keep going in my craft.
I'm ready to start creating pieces that tell a story and
in a museum. That's really what my pieces do: tell a
story.
I'm an exaggerated dresser… and then when they
realize that I actually make it, that's when I became like
the designer.
What are your challenges?
The money. "Should I keep doing this? I'm not making
exactly what I want to be making."
Why is a focus on fashion important?
You feel good about yourself, you get to see what it
actually looks like on. Just get dressed.
