Last year, I left my full-time job to find my creative spark again. ✨
Ever since I was a kid, my two favorite things have been shopping and styling outfits. When I found the Fashion Arts & Business program, I knew it was time to give my passion a real shot.
One of my big goals for 2026 was to finally learn how to sew. So, when I was tasked with developing a denim product for class, I decided to go all in. Even though there was no requirement to actually sew the piece, I wanted to push myself to create something I’d actually want to wear! 👖🧵
I never expected that this “beginner” project would end up being chosen as the show closer for my school’s fashion show yesterday. Seeing my work on that runway was a dream! 😭🙌
This is video 1 of 5 documenting the process from sketch to reality. Follow along to see how it all came together and join me for this new creative chapter over at
