My journey as a Filipino immigrant involves a need for belonging in my home country and the United States. I aim to share my experiences and represent my identity through fashion. I am using METAMORPHOSIS and DENIM fabric elements to symbolize my transformative growth from feeling lost to achieving fulfillment while paying homage to my cultural heritage. Combining these experiences, I have created unique designs that genuinely represent myself. Nurturing self-discovery and representation to fellow immigrants and inspiring them to find their purpose.
