This year felt different from the others. To keep it short, I was struggling with where to go next with my career even though I love everything that I do and what I’ve built for myself the last few years. It’s a weird feeling. I wasn’t exactly burnt out, but deep down I felt stagnant and unfulfilled like something was missing. I’m so thankful for every client and brand that reached out + trusted me to design for them this year. Each project guided me in the right direction and reminded me why I’ve been chasing this dream for so long. Although it took me a while to mentally get here, I’m truly excited for 2026 and finally taking action. — #sewing #fashiondesign #upcycle #sewingproject #fashiondesigner #upcycledfashion #emergingdesigner
