Early Life & Skate Journey

What first drew you to skateboarding, and what did it represent to you at that time?

"I was 5 years old. Its was picture day.. I saw a skateboard there on the room and it kind of just called. It just represented fun. I wanted to be like the kids on rocket power."

 

Breaking into a global heritage brand isn’t easy, what challenges did you face entering that space?

Outside of skating, what creative outlets inspire you? 

"Reading books, walking around different cities I travel too, falling in love, listening to people talk, painting."

 

 

"I think I am here. Like I'm here to show people if you love something, have passion and work hard you can make your dreams come true."

 

Representation & Cultural Impact
