Will, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What are you chasing, and what would happen if you stopped?
As of right now I’m chasing success in all aspects whether it’s in crating clothes, content, finding a perfect agency for me, anything when it comes to me becoming creative I’m chasing and if I stopped it’s basically like I’m giving up on what I want for myself in life

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m a fashion content creator, stylist, designer, and creative I like making my own pieces and items and wearing it in outfits I like being able to design items where I get inspiration from like the shows I watch or people I pass day by day

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
A part that served it purpose when it comes to the content creator aspect is building my resume and relationships with brands and doing everything for free just to have a relationship with some brands a lot of brands try to get over on you and say they don’t have a budget even if they do to not pay you for your time and taking out of your pocket to make content for brands

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
I almost gave up around the time I first moved to Georgia and I notice a decline when it came to me creating content mainly because there isn’t any spaces in the fashion community when it comes to Georgia also how far I was from the Atlanta and how hard it was to make outside content

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What truths are so foundational in your life that you rarely articulate them?
That time is truly more important than how much money you have people have to find ways to make the same amount they would make working a 12 hour shift and to make that in half or less than half the time to have more time to yourself to enjoy life or to continuing trading your money for more time

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope that most people remember what I leave here and that would be my designs and custom and unique clothing I would hope to leave clothing that would continue to out live me
