About me

After winning the title Designer of the Year, my TikTok showcased my concept of creating clothing out of Shein bags. The world was ready to see more. Nearly 19 million people viewed that video and almost all followed up with the question of "how can I purchase this?"

My designs were featured in the Wall Street Journal, BuzzFeed, YKK, and many more publications. Soon after, the runway collection was on the red carpet for the Tribeca Film Festival. Mind blown by the attention my designs were getting, I then was invited back to WSJ to be on their podcast "The Journal".

The future of my designs are no longer limited to just repurposing plastic. My creativity comes to light with any materials I can get my hands on.

With much love and designing ahead,
