Answers to Q&A
What INSPIRED you to become a model?
Growing up, people constantly told me that I should model because of my height and skin. I’ve always loved being in front of the camera, even before I fully understood what modeling was. Since I’m now studying graphic design, I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for photography and the magic behind capturing a moment that feels almost timeless.
One day, I came across a scouting agency on Instagram. On a whim, I sent them a message, not expecting much. To my surprise, they responded and connected me with my current agency, Ciotti Models. That message opened the door to a whole new chapter in my life. What started as a dream became something real, something I could grow into, and something that continues to inspire me every day.
What are you most excited about when it comes to modeling?
What excites me most about modeling is the chance to step into creative spaces I never would have reached on my own. I love watching ideas transform from concepts into fully built campaigns and shoots. Every set has its own energy, its own artistic language, and I love learning from the people who make it happen.
As a graphic design student, I’m constantly immersed in art. Modeling lets me experience creativity from the other side of the lens, where I’m not just designing the story but becoming part of it. I love observing how photographers capture emotion, how stylists shape a character, and how a team works together to bring a brand’s vision to life.
Modeling is not just posing for a photo. It is storytelling. It is expression. And it gives me the thrill of discovering new versions of myself in every shoot.
Can you share with us some advice you have for models wanting to get into the industry?
My best advice for anyone stepping into the industry is to love yourself first, be confident in who you are, and take care of your skin. Self love sets the tone for everything. When you accept what makes you unique, you walk into opportunities with a natural confidence that no one can replicate.
I also believe in showing up prepared. Know your angles. Practice your walk. Build a portfolio that reflects your personality and versatility. And above all, stay patient. The industry is unpredictable, but consistency and confidence always pay off. Skincare is another essential. Your face is part of your brand, so treat it with care, hydration, and sunscreen even on days when the sun feels shy.
Most importantly, never forget that you belong in the room. Your individuality is your power.
share a fun fact about yourself!
A fun fact about me is that I’ve explored almost every art form you can think of. Creativity has always been my favourite way to express who I am. I was heavily involved in drama throughout high school and earned several awards during that time. I’m currently a graphic design student, so digital art and drawing are part of my everyday life.
I’ve also been in choir, learning how to use my voice properly, and I’ve played multiple musical instruments which helped me understand creativity through sound. And now, I’m also growing as a fashion content creator, blending my love for style, design, and storytelling into the content I make.
Art has always shaped who I am. Modeling simply became another way for me to express the creativity that has been with me my whole life.
