All About Me
Ten years ago, I made my first costume and discovered a passion I didn’t know I had — creating wearable art that transforms how people see themselves. What started as a creative outlet quickly became a mission: to help people access confidence, beauty, and power through bold, nostalgic designs.​
​
Today, I craft harnesses for performers, dreamers, and anyone ready to play with identity and style. I believe that what we wear can awaken parts of ourselves we’ve forgotten — and that everyone deserves to feel attractive, confident, and seen.

As a Black, woman-owned, handmade brand, I stand for inclusivity in all its forms — all genders, all sizes, all backgrounds. My work is rooted in the joy of transformation, the playfulness of fantasy, and the belief that costume can be a bridge to becoming who you truly are.
