How do you define cool?
I think that the definition of cool is very much subjective to each and every individual. Through my lens, I understand the term as something that is immediately captivating and refreshing. A concept that drives the need to be shared with others, has longevity, and initiates conversation.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
Broadening my horizons and go about researching from an wide range of perspectives. To break through the boundaries of personal interest and collect information with an open mind.
How do you reset to be creative?
This requires music, my sketchbook, and sometimes a glass of wine.
What inspires or excites you?
I am always inspired by the endless cycle of fashion, discovery of new music and strolls through the halls of museums. What excites me is incorporating the creativity I seek into my own life -- through what I wear, my drawings, and my writing content.
