Moving from Honolulu to California I had a dream. To connect people with one another. First coming into the industry as a creative, I successfully designed handbags for a Bay Area brand. One of which was featured in Lucky Magazine when I was 20. I was immediately drawn to the fashion industry knowing my purpose was here. Throughout my life I’ve recognized that my true passion lies in supporting and uplifting creatives in our industry. Through the philanthropy and humanitarianism work we do, we’ve been able to create a space for creatives who are stronger together. It’s this agency’s sole purpose to support our community anyway we can. After all, happier creatives mean happier clients!
