Where do you live and work now?
I currently live in Maryland and work mostly in New York city.
How did you get into fashion/designing?
It was really random. I was originally a musician. Being in the music industry was very stressful, so I found having a hobby such as photography would be a stress reliever. From photography came modeling then I randomly just started designing accessories.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
A lot of my inspiration comes from my environment. I love to challenge myself, sometimes I will design outside in a noisy environment or design whole drinking win and playing music loudly. I feel it puts me in a unexplained “design trance”
