Ever since I was a child, I have been a girl who always likes to dress well.I believe dressing well is very important, and if we look good, people around us will be happy. 

When I grew up, I wanted to be many things, but I became a teacher. I enjoy creating art too.Later, I started making my own dresses and those for my friends too. I found happiness in the work I do every day. That's when I started determined to build a fashion brand of my own while following my heart, and here I am today, doing the things I love.

Chompy the Artist 

"What I love most about art is creating color." Colors are important to me; yellows bring sunshine to me, like having my curtains open on a bright sunny day. When I make art, it makes me feel so good. I hope my art makes other people feel wonderful too.

I want to inspire people. Art is woven into my dressmaking and design. I also enjoy teaching the techniques I know to those who want to learn to play with colors and make art of their own using their imagination. To those of you who want to pursue a dream, I would like to say, "Don’t give up; keep working to achieve your dream by being patient, striving, and waking up every day to make things happen."
