In a past life, before I became a crazy digitalist who worked with naught more than keyboard + mind, I wrought my philosophy in fabric.

I still believe in the immense power of clothing to fabricate + unzip our perceptions, one outfit at a time.

My side-project, Rethinking Style, reflects this.

“Style Yourself Free”

A breakthrough collection I designed my junior year, as a big ‘fuck you’ to what I saw as the designer’s limiting ‘I decided ahead of time how exactly I want you to wear it’ POV. Vive la individual choice! Beyond the concept, it’s very very rough due to my own limitations as a draftsman, but I’d love to expand the idea with passionate technicians in the future:

I explain my inspiration + creative process way more in Change Creation, with a lot more photos, too!

I also designed the world’s first plantable wedding dress (that’s paper with embedded seeds!)

It’s my belief that ANY medium -digital, physical, metaphysical- has the potential to change things.

It’s the way you handle them that matters.

Keep inspiring,
