I was incredibly honored to showcase my designs and brand efforts on the fashion runway at the National Gallery of Canada, collaborating with the beautiful models from AMTI for the annual AMTI Showcase Gala 2026: “Philoptimo.”
Hitting the runway for the first time was a profoundly beautiful experience—so breathtaking, in fact, that I almost rolled right into the runway lights, completely stunned seeing so many elite models elegantly wearing my efforts.
FROM FACES MAGAZINE TO THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY — AND THEN… OTTAWA FASHION WEEK.
Just when you think you’ve reached the highest point in your career, another incredible opportunity presents itself.
After the excitement of being featured in the popular FACES Magazine and being invited to showcase my signature collection at the prestigious AMTI Gala at The National Art Gallery, the momentum was at an all-time high.
Then came the call…
Ottawa Fashion Week contacted me and wanted me to appear.
I was thrilled.
ANOTHER RUNWAY. IN ONE YEAR. LET’S GO!
But this time, I wanted to create something bigger than a fashion show.
I wanted to create an awareness fundraiser collection — one that would help raise funds to continue building on my 15 years of accessible clothing design, while making a commitment to have the collection sourced, created, and branded right here in Canada.
That vision became INCLUSIVE.
For INCLUSIVE, I wanted the materials to reflect the same values behind the collection: quality, durability, and Canadian sourcing. The collection features heavyweight cotton materials from Redwood Classics, built to last and made for the vision I had in mind.
INCLUSIVE isn't just about fashion.
It's about accessibility. Awareness. Opportunity. And creating clothing with purpose.
Now, watch these incredible models take the runway and bring INCLUSIVE to life.

The journey continues. And we're just getting started.
Words cannot fully capture the emotion and gratitude flowing through me right now. To everyone out there hustling, grinding, and building your dream day in and day out: keep at it, trust your vision, and NEVER GIVE UP.
