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.

Even when I was just designing T-shirts people really gravitated to them.

I wasn't able to afford high-end brands or any of that, so I grew up on streetwear.

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.

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.

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