Power of Selection is built on a simple yet profound belief: the small choices we make matters. In a world driven by excess and disposability, I help champion a different path - one that values repair over replacement, rewearing over discarding.

Sustainability in fashion isn’t just about what we buy; it’s about how we care for what we already own. The power is in our hands to make mindful decisions that benefit both people and the planet.

Through a combination of education, advocacy, and hands-on repair, I empower individuals and communities to rethink their relationship with clothing - transforming the way we wear, mend, and cherish what we own.

EMPOWERING CHANGE, ONE STITCH AS A TIME.
