I was at work but my soul wasn't there, my body was there but I wasn't connecting to what I was doing. Eventually I decided to get out of there and do something I believe in.

I started out doing everything on a custom scale and when that started paying the bills I started making more pieces.

I'm based in Atlanta so there weren't a lot of people to talk to about fashion because no one was really doing it on the scale that I wanted to do it. I had to do a lot of research on my own.

I believe that if you work hard enough and do things the right way recognition will come.

I want to represent the street, not in a negative sense, but in the sense that when I was growing up, that's what I grew up on.

I started designing and getting into cutting and sewing, I also started learning how to do patterns and tech packs. From there I transitioned from challenging myself to make T-shirts to starting to make custom pieces for celebrities.

Starting out is very difficult if you don't have a clientele.
