HOW I FOUND MY WAY BACK TO FASHION

Embracing My Creative Side

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to style. Even as a kid, I noticed details that others often overlooked. Color, texture, and the fine nuances of fabric movement captivated me. I could see how colors shifted moods and how clothes could transform someone’s posture and confidence. Fashion always felt natural to me, but it didn’t always feel possible.

My parents were supportive. They even gifted me my first sewing machine at the age of 7. I spent hours creating silly, basic pillows stuffed with cotton. While they encouraged my creativity, they also had expectations. They envisioned me as a lawyer, contractor, or nurse—professions they understood and valued. They saw traits in me that resonated with those fields.

The idea of pursuing a career as an artist or designer felt unstable. So, I pushed that dream aside and chose the safe route. I ventured into medicine because it made sense, not because it felt like me. Sure, it brought a sense of accomplishment, much like my mother, who thrived in the medical field while nurturing her creative side as a hobby.

A Turning Point: The Impact of COVID

Then came COVID. Everything paused. Suddenly, I had space to think about who I truly was, free from the noise and expectations of others. For the first time, I asked myself what I wanted—not what I was supposed to do, but what genuinely made me feel alive. That’s when I realized fashion wasn’t just a fleeting interest. It was the one thing that always felt like home.

I finally stopped questioning my passion and took a leap of faith. I enrolled at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). The thought of studying fashion design had never crossed my mind before. SCAD opened my eyes to the depth of fashion. It’s not merely about clothes; it’s about identity, confidence, emotion, and storytelling.

The Transformative Power of Fashion

Every fitting, every piece I design, and every client I style serves as a reminder that this is where I was always meant to be. Fashion has the power to transform not just appearances but also how we feel about ourselves. When I dress someone, I see their confidence bloom. It’s a beautiful thing.

Fashion is a form of storytelling. Each piece we wear tells a story about who we are and how we want to be perceived. It’s an art that goes beyond fabric and thread. It’s about expressing emotions and making connections.

When I work with clients, I focus on their stories. What do they want to convey? How do they want to feel? By understanding these elements, I can help them build a wardrobe that resonates with their identity.
