BOC: Voice

As a young boy, I was exposed and quickly learned the principles of entrepreneurship, supply, and demand as I exchanged my illustrations for extra lunch money with my classmates. My vision, creativity and willingness to succeed have opened many doors, but more importantly, they have defined me as an individual. My interest towards the fashion world sparked in 2005 after noticing people’s reaction towards the concepts behind my tattoos. This gave birth to a graphic tees line idea but after an extensive research of the apparel industry, I quickly realized that tapping into this field was not as simple. This urge for knowledge landed me at the Art Institute of Ft Lauderdale pursuing a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Retail Management. Since then, I have actively participated in a few start ups and currently hold an involvement with reputable apparel brands, Public School and Black Apple which sell both nationally and internationally. I’m also an inspiring designer in the process of launching my own clothing line which is expected to debut by the end of this year
