Who or what is your inspiration in business?

As the founder of Skin So Simple, my inspiration lies at the intersection of radical minimalism and high-performance science. Tired of oversaturated markets, I’ve embraced "skinimalism"—focusing on the skin barrier rather than fleeting trends. By merging resilient botanicals with dermatological integrity and AI-driven transparency, we’ve cut through the noise. Our mission is to provide clinical results with zero guesswork, ensuring that simplicity remains the ultimate

How do you stay motivated?

To stay motivated, I focus on the impact Skin So Simple has on our community. Seeing customers regain confidence through a simplified, effective routine is incredibly rewarding. I’m energized by the challenge of merging AI technology with clinical skincare to solve real problems. On a personal level, I find balance through high-protein meal prepping and staying active, which keeps my mind sharp. I believe that when you align your daily work with a clear mission, the drive follows.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Currently, the skincare industry treats skin as a static surface, but a woman’s skin is a dynamic organ influenced by shifting internal rhythms. With this funding, I will develop a responsive skincare system that moves beyond the traditional 'skin type' categories.
