How and when did you become interested in design?

When I was in high school my junior year, I took a fashion design class and fell in love with the aspects of fashion. My grandmother had taught me how to sew at a young age and I always wanted to know how to make my Barbie clothes bigger so that they would fit me. Now that is possible and I can design all the ideas in my head.

Some bell silhouettes, slightly flared pants and straight silhouettes.

What was (were) your inspirations) for this collection?

Latino music and dance based on the culture.

What fabrics will you be using?

Cotton, vinyl, lace, spandex, a form of denim and chiffon.

What important detail work should be noticed?

The flare and flow of the clothing. Also, the seams that form complicated shaped on the clothing.

What designer(s) do you admire, or would most like to work with and why?

I admire Coco Chanel because she did what she wanted and didn't care what other people thought. She had a hard life and I feel that I relate to her and her creativity.

Describe yourself as a designer in five words or less.

Creative, different and exciting.

Sports: such as basketball, volleyball, tennis working with the Boy Scouts of America, and dancing.
