@forbesunder30 LIST at 25!!!! I work day and night to make everything happen. I’ve learned every part of my craft to be able to run my business successfully whether it’s creative/design or business/marketing related. I’m so grateful to see all the hard work pay off. I used to dream about moments like this and we finally here. I used to lose sleep over trying to make it in this industry, but never giving up was always supposed to be part of the story. Thank you to everyone who’s been on this ride with me, truly. You guys have my heart!
Set your intentions and go get it 🙏🏽
By now, we all know that sports and fashion go hand in hand; especially when it comes to the ladies of the WNBA. Now, @rupal.official is helping the @valkyries to take it a step further. The designer worked with the team and @sephora on an elevated sweatsuit inspired by the Valkyries, elevating traditional merch design. Swipe to take a look at the final pieces, available exclusively at the Golden State Shop, as well as some behind the scenes photos and videos of the design process.

SHOW your work, it’s the best way to get the right kind of exposure and position yourself as an expert in your field @forbes@forbesunder30
With @rupal.official , when I really leaned into showing the hard work done behind the scenes, I engaged with my supporters on a different level. We’re all placing some kind of effort into our dreams and we should be proud to show people the beautiful work we’re creating.
**Bet on yourself—every time.** @forbes@forbesunder30
You’re the center of your story. Make choices that support your longevity—even when they feel uncomfortable or not the most practical.
In this case, choosing to run garment production for my fashion brand, @rupal.official was my way of betting on myself—and the investment returned tenfold. Trust what you’re pulled toward.
Thank you @forbes for having me speak at the @forbesunder30 Summit this past weekend! Alongside @stormascher and @caassidychen
We touched on the economics of the creative space, and one of my main points was that the traditional concept of marketing is shifting.
I believe independent founders hold real influence because they have the credibility to recognize great product. Expert-facing influence.
Founder-led influence is where this is going—where the builder becomes the voice—so I always urge founders to link arms and find ways to support one another as they grow.
Fashion x Futures presented by @rupal.official & @bysengo turns 1 🥂 Back in LA June 27–28 for a 2-day pop-up—700+ attendees last time.
Brands keep 100% of sales + get real exposure (customers, support, investor network).
