BNS: Why did you start your brand?    

Growing up I have thought and hoped that I build a brand or start a small business that would feed a curiosity of creating. I wanted to start something from scratch that would hopefully grow into something that I can physically point to.  I had an appreciation of aesthetically appealing designs or art forms or ornaments hence I wanted to create such things that relate to an appreciation I have for fashion and art.
