About
With an accounting background at the University of Southern California, my future consisted of earnings that fulfilled a more than comfortable lifestyle. Entering fashion at the Art Institute of California–Hollywood, my mind opened up to opportunities where I got to learn a great art and use it to benefit others. The vision of my journey is to build honest business relationships with developing countries to use their fabrics and by doing so, they can support themselves.
