My creations have always been connected to that time, my magical childhood moment in the mountains. Nostalgia. I will continue to try to recreate all the senses I felt when I’m there… I want to continue this dream, to progress and find my fulfillment: to live in a simple and beautiful state. “

At the age of nine, we immigrated to Vancouver. I discovered my passion for art, design and music from my artistic parents. Between music and fashion, I chose to pursue a fashion degree at the age of sixteen.
Upon receiving my bachelor’s degree in fashion design, I worked for fashion brands such as Lululemon Athletica (Vancouver), Joe Fresh (Toronto), Greta Constantine (Toronto) and Araks (New York City). I further pushed my creative boundary by working for international design house Viktor & Rolf in Amsterdam, Netherlands. After Amsterdam, I was presented a unique opportunity to pursue a musical career as a pop singer in Taiwan. However, fashion brought me back to Toronto. I continued my love for fashion as the Head Designer at Line and John+Jenn, then as a Senior Designer at Roots.
