Describe your style: My style is very functional. When I’m in the woodshop, I like to wear rugged things that I can get dirty. When outside, I like brighter clothes like white, orange and red; something that opens up the energy centers in your body and makes you feel vibrant.

Fashion trends you love: When I was younger, I used to wear white T-shirts all the time and jeans. That was all I needed.

Fashion trends you hate: I love people and all their expressions. I see a part of myself in everyone else. So I can’t hate them or a style.

Fashion influences: I like to be in clothes that are natural and grounded so there is not a particular person or designer. It’s what makes me feel grounded.

Less of? High heels because it harms your feet after a while when they’re kept bound up for a long time.

Tattoos or piercings: Yes, both.

What type of music do you unwind to? Silence is good, but I’ve been humming a lot of Bob Marley lately. Music like that that brings me joy.
