I have designed and hand crafted about 200 bags here in San Diego called a Chi Stash (Energy Stash) I have started selling my designs at the Farmer's Market, Outdoor Festivals, Music Festivals, Bars, Lounges, and Fashion Events. I have a few stores here in San Diego and a few in Los Angeles. I am just starting to put my designs into stores. There's a huge demand from me from people, boutiques, and online sales.

All my designs are handmade from recycled, discarded, and wasted resources of leather material. I use these materials because I believe that it is positive energy to increase awareness by letting people know that it is possible to create new designs out of unwanted material. There is so much wasted resources in all industries, and by thinking a little differently and acting and conducting business alternatively, we're able to maximize our resources and increase our energy potential on a global scale.

My continued inspiration is our planet, our community and our environment. I'm also very inspired my music, nature, and other forms of art. We create because we are inspired. It's all about "Inspiration inspiring Inspiration" It's a domino effect of positive energy because I hand made each bag with the intent of positive energy. Every design is stamped with the logo I created. The infinity symbol over the Chinese character for Chi for "Infinite Energy" Energy is infinite, we are all energy, and we all have the Chi Power. Sometime we just need a little reminder to embrace our own Chi Power. I'm really trying to promote these designs as mobile functional art. All my designs are original and each one is one of a kind. All Chi Stashes come with multiple detachable straps, which allows you to transform your Chi Stash into a clutch, hand bag, waist and hip pack (fanny pack), shoulder bag, to messenger bag. Even though it's the same bag, you can change the way you rock your bag depending on how you're feeling to change the whole vibe of your style that day.

I originally started making wrist cuffs out of old recycled belts, I started selling my designs at the local farmer's market here in San Diego. I received great response from people. I always rocked a cuff everyday and when I didn't have my cuff on, I felt something was missing, I started to call them energy cuffs. It soon eventually became Chi Cuffs. I started finding more resources of material and started making designer Chi Cuffs, really teaching myself my own technique and skills in leatherwork, developing my own style. Everything has been self taught. I started finding even more resouces of wasted materials and started creating designer belts, called Chi Wraps. Then I found more resources of material that allowed me to create little wallets ( Chi Stash Mini), which eventually became designer hand bags, Chi Stash. I also have Chi Straps for your guitar, and Chi Drops for your ears, and Chi Lids for your head. I would eventually like to have shoes called Chi Stepzs and also Chi Livin' all the different types of home accessories, for example Chillows, nice leather pillows. I'm also starting to do clothing as well now too, out of wasted resources as well too.  It's the Chi Stylezs Life Stylezs a universal brand.

I'm also learning new techniques in designs to incorporate different mediums together. I've been studying metal-smithing for the past 3 years, I wanted to be able to incorporate silver work in to leather designs. or vice versa.

A design nightmare story is learning how to do fashion now, I've started to learn how to sew and draft patterns. I've never done it before, I can make patterns really well, however sewing is a whole different story, especially learning to sew, and sewing leather, without the right equipment is a nightmare all in itself.  My greatest achievement is realizing my love and passion for creating and designing beautiful things with an important message that creates a positive impact. And it is all worth it when I'm able to share that feeling and inspiration with others that motivates them to do the same.
