When my head hits the pillow I imagine I'm in my own studio, thinking fabric into existence. Fabric flies through the room and arranges itself into the millions of silhouettes! When I wake up in the morning, I still have all of the designs I've created in my head. I get all of my markers and throw them all out on the floor. I let my rainbow connection, as a queer person, guide me as I draw the designs I was thinking of the night before. When it's time to shop for materials, I often don't find the right fabric print to match my designs. So, I customize my own print designs by painting, printing, dyeing, or drawing the fabric I buy. I've also explored other forms of customization through laser-cutting, tufting, and quilting techniques. I have so much fun exploring and being curious during the design process. The friendship I've developed with my inner-child has greatly influenced my style as a designer. I walk past the children's section in a store and I don't understand why the vibrant clothes don't come in my size. Through loving and accepting my inner-child, I've come to the realization that life is too dang short to wear boring clothes! I want to wear clothes that I can have fun in and bring me joy!
