I was seven years old when I came to know Christ as my Savior. I still remember it clearly. I was sick that Sunday and could not go to church, but I went to my mom and said, “I want to be saved.” She came into my bedroom, shared the Gospel, and I prayed, asking Jesus to come into my heart and take away my sins.

Growing up in church taught me a lot, but I learned that being around the things of God does not make you a Christian. Salvation is a personal decision. You must come to Jesus yourself. I made that choice as a child, was baptized at 13, and later surrendered my life to Christ. It was not until I was about 20 that I truly began serving Him wholeheartedly.

Today I help my dad in his ministry as a pastor while building Purifashion and working at Chick-fil-A. My prayer is to one day do this full time, serving God through this business and in the church, because I know this is the calling He has placed on my life.

Purifashion began with both a struggle and a calling. I could not find Christian clothing that I actually wanted to wear, something high-quality, modern, and bold in faith. I started out selling regular designs on Etsy and then moved to Shopify. But God stirred my heart to create something that would make an eternal difference.

He gave me the vision to design clothing that proclaims the Gospel, sparks conversations, and helps believers grow confident in their witness. Clothing that speaks before you even open your mouth.

Now every Purifashion piece is more than apparel. It is a tool for evangelism. Whether it is a shirt with Scripture or a design that points to Christ, the goal is the same. To plant seeds of truth in the hearts of those who see it. When you wear Purifashion, you are wearing your faith, making a statement, and inviting conversation about Christ.

My mission is simple. Help believers witness through what they wear, grow bold in their faith, and be encouraged daily through our devotionals and messages. This is more than fashion. It is a movement to share God’s light, one outfit at a time.

Stay bold. Stay faithful
