M: I definitely didn’t have a traditional path. Only a few years ago I was a sociology major at a traditional college, but I wanted to be an artist. I took a semester abroad in London doing a fashion journalism internship. The art I saw and the people I met inspired me so much. Meeting young people that were attending the best fashion schools in the world, and having them believe in my vision, was the push I needed to dedicate myself to my art. I came home, dropped out of school, and moved back in with my parents. I made art every day until I started to grow and get noticed. Now I live in Hollywood and am a full-time freelance worker. But I had to grind for it, and it was so worth it. I am completely self-taught and I have so much to continue to learn.

M: Wake up – make coffee – make a model package or two – create or add to a mood board – read – introspect – plan my next moves.

But it really changes so much day to day depending on what projects I’m working on!

M: Being the stylist for a major fashion house.

M: Gadir Rajab, Lotta Volkova, the young designers of Fashion East, to name a few!

M: That’s so hard don’t make me do this!!! Haha… but I’d have to say.. Maison Margiela couture. Or vintage Gaultier. Or Vivienne Westwood. Yep I can’t do it!

M: My tabis, an XL hoodie, white men’s button down, my camper lab x Bernhard Willhelm boots, mesh Gaultier tops

M: Hiking in Malibu and laying on the beach in the sun with my phone off

M: Working for Caroline Polachek’s visuals has been incredible recently. She’s such an inspiration & an incredibly nice, talented person. Her new single “door” just dropped – give it a listen (;
