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

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.

Even though I wasn't making a lot of money I was enjoying what I was doing.

I want to be recognized but I don't seek it out.

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 don't just want to put a price tag on pieces because I can. I don't want put a price tag on pieces that are unreasonable either. Just because people might buy it doesn't mean you won't alienate fans eventually.

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.
