"My love for design began when my mom brought home my first Thrasher skateboard magazine after a trip. I wore out the pages, captivated by every detail. Little did I know that one day I’d find myself featured in magazines, on stages, and at some of the most prestigious fashion events in the world. I value things that endure, and that requires a sharp focus and attention to detail. The early influences of skateboarding, snowboarding, cartoons, and advertising still shine through in my work today."
