What passion drives you to succeed?

I have a great passion for translating the beauty in life into intricately designed couture gowns. My passion is fueled by the ability to make a woman feel empowered and special when wearing one of my creations. There is an intricate balance in showcasing the female form and finding a unique, new way of doing it. There is no greater joy than creating a one-of-a-kind gown that not only inspires the woman wearing it, but also those who are lucky enough to see her in it.

What have you accomplished this year?

This year has been particularly rewarding for me. At the beginning of the year, I was fortunate enough to complete a photoshoot of my new gown designs. I also had the great privilege of being invited to showcase my designs at numerous venues. These venues included: Knoxville Fashion Week, Fashion Week Alabama, WERK the Runway, SHINE! Fashion Show, Flair Fashion Week, and The Lipstick Monologues. I was not only able to showcase my designs, but also use my designs to raise money for non-profits and bring awareness to important issues. I also had the great honor of being published numerous times in “Tied In A Bow Magazine.” Lastly, I have been working diligently on several couture designs for private clients. As I reflect on this year, I hope that I am as equally inspired next year with my new collection.
