I am a queer 23 y/o from a small town, now residing in Montreal for the past 5 years. I come from somewhere that looks down on individuality and experimentation which left me with one option; to leave and find acceptance. Now, after graduating from Lasalle and obtaining more of a sense of self, I am so happy I decided to pursue fashion as it's been whispering in my ear since I was a child to pursue it. my three years of schooling taught me how to create patterns, conceptualize collections and cut and sew. I'm someone who always wanted a challenge, whether that was in the fabric choice, the construction or the shape of something. aside from my educational pursuits, I'm someone who loves to socialize, dance, take photos and play video games when I get the chance. I'm a serious individual who loves to surprise others with my humour, and I would say that's exactly how I treat my designs.
