About Me


I am a work of art from Detroit who possesses extreme talent in many forms of the art world. I started my own company called:
Nerve Damage is a fun and expressive clothing company for both men and women. The designs are exhilaratingly unique and exploding with color. Launched in early 2004, Nerve Damage was created as the first tactile expression into my mind.
Back to the basics, Detroit Michigan, where I was born. Detroit may not be the fashion capital of the world, but somehow in the middle of the dirty D, my kaleidoscopic mind emerged. Inspirations for my designs certainly don't just come from my home scene though, but rather, from all over the world. The Fruits books and magazines are must as well as European club wear. Other important influences are 60's and 70's fashion, Vita-Water bottles, Red Bull, hardware stores, mushroom clouds, new skool tattoos, music and Alex Gray paintings.
The phrase, Nerve Damage, has deep roots in my life, as it is, quite literally, a part of who I am as a person. At birth, I experienced a severe brachial plexus injury to my right arm and shoulder. This means that the network of nerves conducting signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm, and hand were seriously damaged. My doctors determined that it was quite likely that I would never have the ability to use her right arm. After many years of therapy in various forms, I did gained a great deal of usage of my right arm. Due to the permanent Nerve Damage, I could never fully develop triceps though, and, to this day, can not feel parts of my arm or hand.
Although Nerve Damage is a highly successful global urban couture clothing company at present, plans to expand are in the works. I strive to one day design for the masses with my clothing in stores all around the world as to provide everyone easier access to life with a colorful twist.
I currently live in the Detroit area, am enrolled at the College for Creative Studies majoring in fibers, and I am continually running with scissors.
