Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

The American Dream inspires me. As a first-generation daughter of immigrants, I saw my parents sacrifice everything with faith that hard work would open doors. They taught me to lead with passion and purpose, and to build something that creates opportunity not just for myself, but for others.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by immersing myself in inspiration, especially in a city like Dallas, where creativity and ambition are everywhere. I intentionally surround myself with people who dream big, because their energy pushes me forward. Most importantly, my faith keeps me grounded—I’m driven by the desire to make a meaningful impact as God guides my path.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25,000 into growing my design studio and gallery, creating an elevated space where design, materials, and construction come together to redefine the renovation experience for my clients.
