In this video, I talk about my journey of getting where I am today as a self-taught fashion designer who is building her brand from the ground up. I launched my business just last year after many years of sewing and developing my craft. This is my story (which is still being written).
Go check out this video on Books for Beginners to get some of my favorite resources that has helped me tremendously along my self-taught journey.
I hope this video inspires you to not give up on your gift! Remember to embrace every part of you and always be beautifully you!
