A little Shakespeare and a whole lot of fashion.

I’m so excited to be part of Catharsis: A Shakespearean Rebirth this September 5th. I had the pleasure of unboxing this invite package from @studio93md and let’s just say… I think we’re in for quite the evening. 🎭🖤

“Thus begins a new chapter…” and I cannot wait to see how this story unfolds.

When I tell you there were blood, sweat, and tears that went into the preparation of this show…

Stepping into this new role as a designer required a refined version of me including patience, sleepless nights, and learning to trust myself through the process.

I used to think that all the different areas I was a part of were random and really didn’t have anything connecting them together. But coming into this role everything fell into place. My experience in modeling, marketing, styling, illustration, my love for math, literally everything applies here. It’s just that feeling when you know you were always meant to end up here 🤍

Grateful for this beginning, for the lessons behind the curtain, and for the chance to continue growing in Level 2 of my fashion design journey. This is just the start, and the struggles only make the dream stronger. ✨
