“If I had to advise aspiring young models, I’d let
them know that it is okay to dream big but we must
also be realistic and put in the hard work if we really
want to become successful. As cliché as this sounds
if success was easy to attain everyone would be
successful, so we must be willing to really work hard.
My motivation is waking up early in the morning
with a masterplan as to what I can do to promote
my brand, what sets apart my work from the rest
of the designers out there? And what connections
can I make? Every day I am researching the latest
trends and on the Vogue website to remain updated
with the latest events. A day should never be wasted
because so much can be done.
Most of my life I felt like I been running up and
down doing errands and putting in blood sweat
and tears into my craft and many people will never
really understand how much work goes into the
whole process of my aesthetic when I’m designing
and creating a piece. Also, believing in yourself
even when everyone says it’s not possible is the
first step to attaining whatever you desire in life.
Never belittle or limit yourself because of your
current situation. It doesn’t matter where you are
from, once you believe in yourself all negativity and
hindrances will become irrelevant because drive
shines through.”
