Growing up in a small conservative town is no easy task for a young queer kid trying to find out who he is in the world. I was a very shy and quiet kid and the only way I felt like I could express myself was through fashion and art. Clothing and fashion gave me the confidence to express myself and be my true authentic self.

Currently, I am enrolled In SCAD majoring in Fashion Design and minoring in Eveningwear/bridal, and Fashion Marketing. Studying fashion and being in the field drives my passion even more than ever before. I can’t see myself doing anything else besides fashion.
