Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My biggest inspiration is my dad. As a single father, he has always worked incredibly hard to provide for me and make sure I have everything I need. He started with very little and built his own business from the ground up, which makes everything he’s done even more meaningful to me. Watching him take on both roles, make sacrifices, and continue pushing forward no matter what has shaped the way I see work, responsibility, and success.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by growing my brand, connecting with a community of like-minded people, seeing my designs get loved, hitting new goals, and making progress every day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would invest some in my future through Fidelity and other markets, building financial security while learning more about investing. I would put the majority toward growing my business, making it more known, launching new products, and reaching more people who love my designs. Finally, I would give a portion back to my dad, who has always supported me and helped me get my business off the ground.
