My name is Cailee Lola Grayhorse-Pupecki and I am an artist and athlete who has a BFA in Fashion Design from the Academy of Art University.

In sports, and artistic movement you cannot be tense. When you are tense, failure strikes the body painfully. Failure should always be expected, so trying to be perfect is like trying to not be yourself. Everyday I challenge myself to envision how fashion design can allow bodies to be less tense, more confident and increasingly fluid in multitudes of environments. Giving somebody new clothes can give the gift of a brand-new perception. Garments can bless people with encouragement and bravery because it allows them to be the most transparent and truthful versions of themselves. My point of view is that if the mind maintains a strength unique to itself, the rest of the body's expression will follow.
