During my third year at Savannah College of Art and Design, where I was studying fashion design, I hit a wall of burnout. The constant pressure to align my designs with my professors’ feedback had drained my creativity, and sleepless nights became the norm. One afternoon, overwhelmed and frustrated, I reached a breaking point. The passion I'd always had for apparel design seemed to be slipping away. Desperate for a change of scenery, I asked my roommate to drop everything and drive with me to Tybee Island.

We arrived during golden hour, and something about the setting sun and the sound of the waves called to me. Normally, I’d avoid the mess of wet sand, but that day was different. I lay right where the waves met the shore, letting the water wash over me as I stared up at the sky. In that moment, a sense of calm I hadn’t felt in months came over me. The weight I’d been carrying lifted, and for the first time in a long while, I felt light.

Something clicked inside me that day. I realized I had been designing to meet others' expectations, not my own. I made a promise to myself: from then on, I would create what I truly wanted to create—the way I had originally fallen in love with making clothes. With this newfound sense of freedom, I embraced my own vision in my designs, and suddenly, my classes became enjoyable again. My classmates began to notice, and the praise followed. I continued to succeed academically, but more importantly, I rediscovered the joy in my work.

That day at the beach remains a defining moment for me. It’s when I reclaimed a piece of myself, and I owe so much of that to the peace I found in nature—a constant source of inspiration for my designs moving forward.
