Japanese Fashion
Since my early childhood, Japanese culture has always been a profound source of inspiration for me. Iconic shows like Sailor Moon and Speed Racer left a lasting impression. However, it was my discovery of the enchanting realms of Harajuku and Kawaii Culture in Japan that truly ignited my passion and led me to find my true calling.
During my high school years, I ventured into entrepreneurship and established Sweetie Cakes, a brand aimed at providing kawaii fashion options for people of all sizes. Within the Western communities, I am regarded as a pioneer and starting a movement among American Kawaii designers.
Even after 12 years, my renowned design "Confetti Party" continues to be sought-after and sold to this day.
