How long have you been designing?
“I have been designing for about 2-3 years. I started off with a contemporary collection. The collection I am showing today was my first collection in evening wear. So that I started about 6-8 weeks ago.”
Where do you get your inspiration for your designs?
“I get my inspiration from culture. Each piece has an ethnic traditional feel to it so I try to stay constant with that in adding a little bit of a modern western feel to it.”
What was your first ever design?
“With my first ever design I think I was about 5 or 6. The design was on a napkin and as funny as that sounds my mom took a picture of it and she framed it because it was like a full on ball gown that was just drawn on a restaurant napkin. After I took classes, my actual proper first design I can say was when I was about 17 or 18 and that is when I actually started constructing my own garments.”
What’s next for you?
“I want to continue expanding on my contemporary collection. I hope to see myself opening up my own boutique within the next couple of years and also partnering with higher end boutiques as well and just kind of appealing to more celebrity clients as well….I will also be taking part in style fashion week this year. ”
