Story

Six years ago I had a mission to create art and fashion that would resonate with people like me - a hyphenated kid from Chicago, so I co-founded Gente Fina and brought you the "Chicagoan Till Chicago Ends" bomber.

After achieving my mission with Gente Fina I have taken on my most difficult creative endeavor yet: to become a self-sufficient artist and designer. 

My first journey would not have been possible without my friends, family, and community who have supported and believed in me along the way. I can always count on your love and generosity, THANK YOU! Now let’s take this to its 2.0.
