rowing up in Houston, Texas, I have always had an infatuation with the energy and diversity of urban settings. I love people-watching and observing how a persons choice of clothing can dictate their personality or alter ego. Through my involvement in soccer, I was given the opportunity to attend the University of Wisconsin - Madison and play for the Badgers. Moving to the Midwest cultivated my interests in the variations in fashions and trends present in different regions of the country. In high school, my life was consumed with competitive soccer and it wasnt until I took my first art class that I discovered this new passion of mine. Art and design brought a new balance to my life, a personal escape to divert my mind from other thoughts and feelings of anxiety. When I began college, however, it was personal battle to figure out how I could balance the demands of both design and soccer. Although it broke my heart, leaving that aspect of my life behind, I knew that I wanted to pursue a future in apparel design because it provides me with the opportunity to use my creativity to make women appear and feel strong, confident, and ready to conquer whatever the world throws their way. This has and always will be the goal of my work.
