I came to New York City as a teenage immigrant with a sketchbook and empty pockets — and built a 20-year career at the highest levels of fashion. I designed Hervé Léger runway collections, led design teams of 35+ at BCBG, BEBE, GUESS, and more, dressed celebrities, and launched brands from scratch. I know this industry from the inside — the glamour and the harsh realities. Now I use everything I learned to help aspiring and mid-career designers build the careers they deserve — with real strategy, honest guidance, and zero sugarcoating.
