Who: A 15-year-old wonder kid with a taste for manifesting a full universe out of his imagination through fashion design and filmmaking

As a designer, what mark do you imagine making in the industry?
“I want to open people’s minds to dressing up loudly, to change the perception of it from something that’s ‘attention-seeking’ to something that is creative and expressive.”
