Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Growing up, I learned the importance of following dreams. My early days in real estate ignited a love and passion for interior design. I always dreamed of starting my own company. However, hesitation and excuses held me back. Then came life-threatening health challenges that changed my perspective completely. Once I regained my strength, I made a promise to embrace my dreams fully. This journey taught me that adversity can fuel determination, inspiring me to launch my design company.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by holding tight to my "why." Reflecting on my health journey, I faced incredible adversity, learning to embrace a new way of living and redefining my priorities. Each day reminds me of the strength I found during my toughest moments; when I thought I couldn't go on, I discovered resilience I never knew I had. This drives my passion to pursue my dreams wholeheartedly. With my health as my top priority, I promise to seize every opportunity and chase my passions.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I’d reinvest a portion into my business, but my primary focus would be creating a fund to support young entrepreneurs. Whether they’re starting a company, facing challenges or dealing with financial difficulties, this fund will help establish a nonprofit dedicated to making a meaningful impact. Many have supported me on my journey, and my goal is to empower others to pursue their dreams, ensuring they have the resources they need to succeed.
