Short Bio

Statement
For me, fashion goes beyond mere aesthetics; it is a powerful tool for social change. I am deeply rooted in my community, and I am driven by a strong desire to give back and uplift those around me. Through my designs, I aim to empower individuals and support local artisans, weaving a tapestry of compassion and collaboration.The natural landscapes of Appalachia fuel my creativity, and I draw inspiration from their colors, textures, and organic forms. But it is the life stories of the people in this region that truly move me. Their strength, struggles, and triumphs inspire the narratives woven into my garments, each thread carrying a piece of their unique journey.With a focus on sustainable practices, I source eco-friendly materials and employ ethical manufacturing. I believe in leaving a minimal ecological footprint while maximizing the positive social impact of my work. My artistic journey is a testament to the transformative power of fashion when combined with community service and environmental consciousness.
