Thank you, family, professors, and many other great people who helped me bring my designs come alive. My friends in Korea, Australia, New York and everywhere else in the world who I shared memorable times together – true inspiration.
I wish to keep thinking out side the box while enjoying color,
silhouette, and detail. I also wish to keep giving birth to my vision.

I would like to thank my family for always being supportive
and making it possible to keep me going to pursue my goals. Also, I would like to thank my professors who have helped me find my own vision and have use of the skills that I had not known I had to reflect my thoughts and designs with my own signature.
I wish to become a person that always takes chances and
works hard to become a greater individual and pursue each possibility presented to me. This is a new beginning of the next portion of my life.

First of all I have to thank my parents, for
being the sole providers of this opportunity to come to Parsons and live in NYC. It has been a life shifting experience I am ever grateful for. And to my Grandparents, for being understanding to my experience here, and always rooting me on from the sidelines of New Jersey. Thank You Gramma and Grampa.
Thank you also to Jonathan KYLE Farmer
and Irina Simeonova for being my temporary parents, guiding me and putting up with me through my thesis experience. I really DO appreciate that neither of you made it easy for me; always pushed me.
I’d like to thank Jim Collins of ITW Maxi-Grip
Company for being open to my vision, and providing me with the material that is now the center of my thesis collection. The sponsorship you gave me has been priceless, and my collection truly would not be the same with you. Thank you.
Thank You to my good friend Yussef Agbo
Ola, for collaborating with me to create the fantastic prints that created another center-piece in my thesis collection. Also thank you for being the inspiring, encouraging, and forgiving friend that I needed. My calm and confident mentality that has carried me through this year I have to credit to you and the example you lead. I look forward to working with you in the future.
To
the companies of the Garment District one big THANK YOU! Pacific Trimming, Guide Fabrics, Elegant Fabrics, R & C Apparel, Mood Fabrics, Sil Trimming and many others. My thesis collection was made possible by all of these companies, their expertise, and willingness to work with students. Thank You
Thank You to my fellow classmates for being
friendly to me and leaving competition at the door. This has been my BEST YEAR at Parsons, I’ve never made so many friends in one class! You all are the best, I’ve so much enjoyed the working environment we create, the compassion we’ve expressed to one another, and all of the suggestions and help we give to each other. This year would have been so much more difficult without the support from all of you. Thank you all of my friends and family outside of the classroom; you all have been so supportive, and have listened to my whine for so long.
T hank you so much!!! 38 38 38 38

A BIG THANK YOU.... My mother, Michael and my incredible family who has believed in my dream since day one. All of my friends who’s belief in me kept me motivated and made it all worth while. Without their help I’m not sure I would have made it out alive.
Jonathan KYLE Farmer for showing me what design really is. Also to the many teachers I’ve had at parsons who have each taught me something different. To Carol, Humberto and everyone at Opening Ceremony for providing me with opportunities I could only dream of. 50 50 50 50
To Franck, Elmel and the entire team at Ford Paris. To Shannon and crew, Georgia, Bardia, Michael and Junko for putting together an amazing shoot.

I would not have the opportunity to be where I am right at
this moment if it weren’t for my parents. From day one, they have supported me and believed in me even through times where I doubted in myself and my potentials. Also, I would like to thank Jonathan KYLE Farmer for putting up my with my work for the past year, and helping me grow and evolve exponentially as a designer and also as a person. Finally, I would like to thank Irina Simeonova, who took a lot of her own time to share her wonderful knowledge and appreciation in fashion design. She helped make my vison come to life.
