“I have a love for fashion, bridal, and business and aspire to create innovative brands that will make the world a bit more fun and give back in some way. I am passionate about making the fashion world accessible to all who desire to be a part of it and helping people feel their best through clothing. I think that Texas has been overlooked in the industry. Rich in culture and talent, I truly believe Texan artists deserve to have a voice in the industry and showcase their work on a larger scale. I would love to be a part of the Texas Fashion Industry Initiative and look forward to watching it grow!”
