What got me into wanting to create fashion was realizing how people spend money they don't have to buy clothes they feel they need to fit social conformities, so I yearned to produce quality clothes for cheaper prices. What prompted me to design clothes is my friend forcing me to make a design since he noticed my niche for fashion. Once I seen the large positive feedback and demand for a pair of joggers I designed and put up on social media, I knew designing is for me. What inspires me is A$AP Rocky and my mom's belief that pursuing entrepreneurship is solemnly successful.
