About Me
I am an outgoing and environmentally conscious 22-year-old entrepreneur with a deep passion for nature, sustainability, and creativity. Having started my own thrift store, VintEdge, I have developed a keen eye for fashion, especially in the realm of customized thriftware. I enjoy giving pre-loved clothing a second life, combining sustainability with unique personal expression.
Beyond my business, I find joy in meditation, gardening, and being immersed in nature. Conservation is close to my heart, and I strive to incorporate eco-friendly practices into both my personal life and business ventures.
I also have a strong interest in the creative arts, particularly acting and modeling. Expressing myself through fashion, storytelling, and performance excites me, and I am eager to explore opportunities in these fields.
