I started my brand, D.Auxilly, with a $300 investment in a Kenmore sewing machine and have been designing by faith ever since. Self-taught, I began making my own designs, wearing them to local parties where they generated interest among young women. At age 21, I took a leap of faith and decided to drop out of college to open a boutique in Westchester, New York. There, I designed custom clothing for women of all sizes. Two years later, I relocated to Midtown Manhattan.

My first collection made its debut during New York Fashion Week in September of 2009. D. Auxilly has been worn by Nicki Minaj, Kelly Rowland, Brandy, Tamar Braxton, Lil Kim, Eve, Letoya Luckett, and most recently, Lizzo, just to name a few. My designs have also been featured in Essence, BET, E! Network, VH1, The Met Gala, and The Knot. Today, D. Auxilly specializes in creating luxury bridal and eveningwear gowns.

While running my fashion business remains a passion of mine, my true mission is to help individuals and families prosper, both spiritually and financially, by actualizing their Christ-given purpose. I do this by sharing my testimony, wisdom, knowledge, and expertise on business.

I firmly believe that being successful does not have to cost you precious time with your loved ones or come at the sacrifice of your overall life goals. This belief is the driving force behind Designing By Faith. My mission is to help entrepreneurs achieve GOOD success.
