For as long as I can remember, I’ve pursued excellence, not just in my craft, but in everything I do. Designing a piece at TUBO isn’t just about making a dress; it’s about bringing something to life with intention, precision, and deep meaning.

But as I built and pushed forward, there were questions about my faith that remained unanswered. I would read the Bible and feel lost, caught in cycles of “What am I doing wrong?” and searching for clarity that never fully came.

That’s what led me to Bible School at the Logic church‘s LFC, not just to seek answers, but to develop a true relationship with God. It wasn’t about tradition or routine; it was about seeing Him clearly, beyond what I had been told, and truly knowing Him for myself.

The journey wasn’t easy. My schedule is always demanding, and committing to something so intense seemed impossible. But when something is important, you make time for it. And it became one of the highlights of my year.

I found myself in a full-on classroom, made the class representative, and even graduated as the second-best student. But more than the structure, what stood out was how much it shifted my perspective.

One moment that stayed with me was learning that the Bible never actually said there were three wise men. It was a small detail but it taught me how much we assume without fully reading, without seeking truth for ourselves.

That realization mirrored so much of what I’d been experiencing. Sometimes, we rely on interpretations instead of looking deeper whether in faith, in life, or even in business.

Just like in design, it’s not enough to follow a blueprint. You have to understand the foundation, the essence, the why behind it all.

That’s what faith became for me: a stripping away of everything I thought I knew, and rebuilding on truth not tradition.

This journey of faith reminded me that excellence isn’t just for the work I do, it has to show up in how I live and what I believe. The same way I approach design with intention, I had to approach my relationship with God with the same clarity and truth.

For anyone who has ever felt lost in their faith, I’ll say this: don’t be afraid to start fresh. Read for yourself. Question. Seek.

Because when you finally see things clearly, when you understand the foundation, whether in faith, in design, or in life, everything changes.
