I am passionate about the work that I do. My work extends beyond the realm of fashion. I am also deeply invested in the world of mental health and have experience designing recovery homes for people facing mental and addictive disorders. The intertwining of these seemingly distinct worlds allows me to approach fashion styling with a unique perspective. By embracing the connection between mental health and fashion, I strive to create transformative experiences within my projects. Whether it's through enhancing confidence or growth, I believe in the transformative power of fashion to nurture both the body and the mind.
