Growing up within my tribal community immersed me in Yurok traditions, particularly the art of regalia creation. This deep connection to ceremonial attire ignited a passion within me to bring Indigenous fashion to the forefront. I ventured into the realm of fashion, driven by a desire to merge traditional Indigenous elements with contemporary design. It's about crafting something entirely new, it's neither strictly ceremonial nor purely contemporary. Rather, it's intended to be worn as an adornment, infused with the same energy, purpose, intent, and meticulous process as ceremonial items and what's truly fulfilling is that I have the freedom to pour my heart and spirit into it.

My designs have since graced the pages of magazines and the red carpet, worn by esteemed figures like Tantoo Cardinal and Tori McConnell. As I continue to grow as an artist, my mission remains rooted in honoring and celebrating Indigenous culture through innovative fashion.
