> AI Consumer Startup Founder, IMG Model

I was scouted to model for IMG Models off the street in NYC and shot a Vogue Runway look-book on the spot. After opening the Proenza Schouler runway show for my fashion week debut, I took the semester off of my computer science studies at Cornell University to model in Milan and Paris. During my semester off, I built an AI chatbot project with a chat interface before chatGPT out of boredom, which blew up landing features in BBC, Vogue, and others. This press associated me with my technical background while modeling, sparking conversations between me and fashion industry leaders while backstage at photoshoots and runway shows, which inspired me to build ARI.

ARI is an AI-powered fashion discovery platform. We are backed by Bloomberg Beta, Correlation Ventures, Daybreak Ventures, Sequoia Scout, Z Fellows, 1517 VC, ex-CPO Hinge, CS faculty @Stanford, AI/ML lead at Apple Maps, CTO Linktree, ex-CEO Miss Universe, ex-CMO Bella Hadid’s Kin, @andrewyeung.
