Answers to Q&A

Why did you want to become a model?

I've always been drawn to art, but especially fashion.  Growing up in a family where the creative field was seen as frivolous rather than an expression of creativity, I remember watching fashion shows online when I was supposed to be doing homework!  I was fascinated by how the models brought life to clothing, and my interest in modelling started there.

What makes you special?

As a person who is curious about other people and their thought processes, I love hearing the ideas of other creatives and hearing where their inspiration comes from.  Along with the understanding that my role as a model is to bring their vision to life, I believe this mindset creates results with depth and emotion.

What are you passionate about?

There is nothing more exciting to me than discussions about abstract concepts that challenge my way of thinking, as I believe it broadens my perspective.

What would you like to see changed within the fashion industry?

The continual shift toward diversity, but more with more consistency and seriousness.  Although there is starting to be a change in the diversity of models of different ethnicities, ages, sizes, heights, and abilities, it often feels like a trend and not a norm.

If you could give an aspiring model any advice, what would it be?

Go into the industry with a strong sense of self, knowing what your strengths are, and use that to explore different facets within the industry!
