Even though I wasn't making a lot of money I was enjoying what I was doing.
I wasn't able to afford high-end brands or any of that, so I grew up on streetwear.
I want to be recognized but I don't seek it out.
I believe that if you work hard enough and do things the right way recognition will come.
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.
The thing is you can be a great designer but you can also be lazy or not understand the other person's preferences or be more concerned about being a star than being good at what you do.
