A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOU
Art in general has always been a big part of my life. I play piano, I love fashion and interior
design, watching old movies and going to museums. As a content creator, I gather my inspiration from
those things. I focus on creating aesthetic lifestyle content that inspires women to embrace their own
uniqueness and femininity.
HOW DO YOU STAY MOTIVATED?
Consistency is key. The thing is, I’m not consistent. I’ve always struggled with staying motivated.
Sometimes I feel motivated and work hard but other times, it’s hard to complete one simple task. Later,
I learned that women go through phases and function differently throughout their monthly cycle. Knowing
this helped me let my body do its thing. I work extra hard when I can and I give myself time to focus on
my emotional well-being and try not to push myself too hard.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR ENGRAVING
I always wear something to elevate my minimalistic outfits. I love adding engraving to my pieces, it
always makes them feel more special. For my necklace, I went for an affirmation I’ve been repeating
lately. ‘I rise above my fears.’
Between hardships with my health and a breakup, last year was tough.
I realized I was doubting myself a lot and gave up on my big dreams. After a long physical and emotional
healing stage, I decided to approach those big dreams of mine again by reminding myself that my fears
and insecurities can’t hold me back. For me, wearing an affirmation like that on my neck, close to my
heart is truly something special. I might not think about those words all the time but I feel them
whenever I wear the necklace. I believe that words have power so I RISE
ABOVE MY FEARS every single day.
PIECE OF ADVICE THAT HAS STUCK WITH YOU
When I graduated high school I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life. I felt a bit worried and
lost since most people around me kind of had that figured out already. My father told me something
special that gave me immediate relief. He said, “As you start to walk on the way, the way appears. Just
keep walking”.
Sometimes we may not know how to get somewhere, but taking one small step at a time
will eventually lead you to your final destination. So, when I feel lost I keep walking, even when I’m
not sure where I’m going.
