I begin by assembling a mood board incorporating color schemes, textures, and envisioned elements for the shoot. However, I embrace the spontaneity of shoots, often pulling last-minute strings to surpass initial expectations and create truly exceptional outcomes.
I enjoy second-hand shopping at estate sales and thrift stores, reading, traveling, and spending quality time with my friends and family.
I am most invigorated by projects set in fast-paced environments with multifaceted operations. One memorable experience was traveling to the Texas Hill Country for a Garden and Gun Magazine cover shoot. I had the opportunity to witness the beautiful architectural homes by Lake Flato amidst breathtaking landscapes. Despite the challenges of hauling furniture and props across vast acres of land, the project rewarded me with some of the most gorgeous sunsets I have ever seen.
Two years ago, while managing a fashion consignment store, I put in my resignation with no concrete career plan just a strong desire to work in the fashion industry. Two years later, I have managed to turn my passion into a sustainable livelihood, collaborating with remarkable individuals along the way.
Traveling abroad for work. Having a publication in a fashion magazine. Building and designing my own home.
