Aug 2012
I'm a small town girl with big dreams. I adore all things classified as art (graphic design, theatre, dance, literature, you name it). I let my imagination guide me, in fact, it is what helps me tolerate most work days. Literature is my muse and I would love to be surrounded by it 24/7.
If my life were a movie, it would definitely be a Bollywood one :D.
What is unique that's not in your bio?
Due to my imagination being so grand, I often stay away from horror films. I'm a huge coward.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
That would definitely have to be graduating on the Dean's List of my University. Though I was aiming for higher, I was still very pleased with myself.
How do you define cool?
Cool is the glide and shuffle of a black loafer against the surface of uneven pavement.
What is your secret to uncovering trends?
Keeping an open mind
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
The collaborative uniqueness. Everyone brings such a different flavour and it's just electric.
What inspires or excites you?
A good book always excites me. Someone who is able to use words so profoundly that it incites a response is a rare and valued find.
