Q: You started modeling at a very young age. How did that shape your view of fashion?
A: Growing up in high fashion taught me discipline, creativity, and how much storytelling goes into an image. Shoots have always been a place where I could express myself and connect with designers in a really personal way.
Q: You also started trading early, even convincing your parents to help you open an account before 18. What drew you to crypto and investing?
A: I’ve always loved numbers, patterns, and risk. Trading gave me the same adrenaline rush as modeling or gambling, but with more strategy. Bitcoin was my entry point — I did well and it opened the door to collecting art, which became my passion.
Q: How did collecting evolve into art advising for major collectors and institutions?
A: At first, I was just collecting what spoke to me personally — pieces that felt like a diary on the wall. Over time, other collectors saw the vision and asked for my perspective. It’s grown into advising, which lets me connect with incredible artists and institutions around the world.
Q: What connects fashion, crypto, and art for you?
A: They’re all about evolution, risk, and identity. Fashion tells a story with fabric, crypto pushes boundaries with technology, and art captures who you are in a moment of time. For me, they’re three languages of expression.
Q: What excites you most right now?
A: Collaborating with fashion designers, discovering new contemporary artists, and always keeping a pulse on the ever-changing crypto space. Every day feels like a chance to learn and build something new.
