Nothing feels better than when the loose strands of your life begin to weave together.

Fashion: In highschool I grew ~$500 dollars of babysitting money into $20,000 over the course of 2 years by flipping secondhand designer clothes on eBay and reselling them to upscale consignment shops in New York. I’d buy items for about 10% of retail, then sell them for closer to 40%. It was a fun little arbitrage opportunity.

AI: In college I dropped out of school for a year to support AI teams at Tesla and Adobe. It was during this time that I realized that AI could also serve as a creative, artistic outlet. I started experimenting with GANs in 2018, then moved on to VQGAN + CLIP, and eventually clip-guided diffusion in 2021 when I noticed that the space was really accelerating. I shared my art on X and discord, searching for ways it could be useful to others -- this led me to AI product photography, and eventually to building a community around Flair in 2023. Since then, we've scaled to 2 million users and are making 7 figures in annualized revenue. We are backed by CRV, and Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross (AI Grant).

I want to work on things that would have made younger versions of myself proud. I imagine that the teenage girl who was running around NYC in the cold with bags of old clothing would have liked to know that her fashion hobby would eventually come back full-circle -- that the college girl who spent hours tinkering on shitty jupyter notebooks was on the right path after all.
