Where are you from?

I’m from Philadelphia, PA.

How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?

When I think about style, I think about purpose and influence. I often think your outfit can influence your outcome. So, I try to wear bright colors to push me, and earth tones to keep me grounded.

What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?

I absolutely must have on a smile, and some cool pants, fitted or tailored!

Where do you shop?

Some of the cool places I shop are thrift stores. Two of my favorite places is Heres2CoolStuff and UNIQLO.

Describe your personal style in three words?

Fun, ambitious, and eclectic.

Any fashion related tips?

Make sure what you wear can motivate you to do something different each day.
