I'm a fashion forward, tech savvy, luxury loving, world traveling workaholic that is easily inspired by my surroundings. Be it in Dubai, Paris, New York or Toronto, I have been to only a handful of places, but they have shaped me to become who I am today. I lead a cultured lifestyle, influenced by the now and aiming for the future.
What is unique that's not in your bio?
I have lived in many countries and can fluently speak three languages. I collect international mugs and colour coordinate my closet.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
My University degree and an awesome internship with Trend Hunter!
How do you define cool?
I believe cool is what you make of it; cool can be a new advertising campaign, or it can be what you want it to be. If you believe it is cool, then it is.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
Aside from continuously searching online for the newest and greatest trends, I am constantly scanning any area I am in and jot down ideas as I see them. I get easily inspired by my surroundings and my searches can lead me to new trends that I have yet to discover.
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
Trend Hunter is a social meeting ground where the interested meet the interesting and share the best of everything. Being a part of TH makes you feel that you are making an influence daily and is very self-rewarding.
What is your favorite trend?
Fashion and interior design.
What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
Detail, detail and detail!
How do you reset to be creative?
Blasting music while searching and writing trends makes me happy and creative. I am a strong believer in having fun while working-it brings out the best in my creative side.
What inspires or excites you?
My family inspires me and adventures excite me.
Predict something awesome for 2020?
I think that music trends are going to dramatically change in 2020. Music genres have changed from the 1950s to the 80s and now in the 2010s we have mixed all styles of music and infused it into a new genre.
