Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration is transformation. I’ve watched people walk in unsure and leave empowered—smiling differently, carrying themselves differently. That shift drives me. I’m also inspired by legacy—turning a skill I started young into a brand that represents culture, precision, and purpose. I’m not just building jewelry, I’m building confidence people wear daily.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by impact and responsibility. Every client, every opportunity is bigger than me—it’s about representing my city, my craft, and those who believed in me early. I remember where I started and who’s watching now. Discipline keeps me going when motivation fades. Purpose keeps me locked in when things get hard.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would turn $25,000 into a platform for impact—scaling production, elevating marketing, and building a showroom/museum that immortalizes the culture behind the craft. Through Royal Teeth Lab Café, I’ll feed the homeless and host youth seminars to educate and inspire. This isn’t just growth—it’s legacy, empowerment, and proof that success should reach beyond self.
