My SS2015 collection debut at Fashion Week was a pivotal moment for me as a designer. It was an opportunity to showcase my voice and identity in the fashion world. While I was honored to have my school select me and proud of the hard work I put into the collection, the final direction was influenced by external decisions, which shaped the outcome.

This experience taught me a great deal about adaptability and collaboration, but upon graduation, I was determined to create a collection that truly reflected my personal vision and story as a designer. This collection represents who I am—crafted with my own hands, from pattern-making and sewing to digitally printing my original photography onto the fabric. It may not be perfect, but it stands as a testament to my growth, skill, and dedication to my craft.
