Since childhood, fashion was more than just an interest for me—it was a calling. At the age of 10, the vision began with designing and selling t-shirts, a passion that grew into an obsession with craftsmanship, storytelling, and design. In high school, those early ideas evolved into the foundation of what is now Banni.

I was determined to not only master design but also understand the business behind fashion. So I pursued a college education in marketing. During that time, my vision for Banni was recognized by the Drexel College of Entrepreneurship, awarding me a five-figure business grant—fueling the brand’s early growth and allowing me to refine my craft at an even higher level.

This journey wasn’t just about creating clothing but about mastering the art of design—countless hours spent perfecting every design, sourcing premium materials, and developing a signature aesthetic that embodies both innovation and timeless style. Along the way, I was guided by invaluable mentors and a deep connection to divine inspiration.

Banni stands as a testament to the belief that fashion is more than fabric—it’s an expression of identity.
