For as long as I can remember, I have 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 (The Logic church Foundation classes)—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. 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. More than the structure, what stood out was the way 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 had been experiencing—sometimes, we rely on interpretations instead of looking deeper, whether in faith, in life, or even in business.

This journey was not just about acquiring knowledge—it was about refining understanding. Much like how TUBO pieces are designed to empower women, this experience has given me a new sense of confidence, rooted not in what I can do, but in the assurance of who I am in Christ.

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.

At TUBO, we believe in excellence—not just in what we create, but in how we live. This journey of faith reinforced that for me. The same way we craft pieces that aren’t just beautiful but intentional, my relationship with God had to be rooted in truth, not just familiarity.

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.
