We had the good fortune of connecting with Marquest Williams and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Marquest, why did you pursue a creative career?
It’s something that I can express myself in. Through art, fashion, etc. I love art and fashion and they both can go hand in hand for sure and both of those are my specialty. I love fashion I’m not trying to repeat myself or anything but especially through fashion I can express myself a lot through fashion.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My family honestly helped me get to where I want to be today. I love my family to death. Real stuff for real. It wasn’t easy at first doing art, I remember back in high school someone said I wasn’t a artist and I took that personally and made my way to become great at my craft, continued practicing and working on my craft and will continue to be great at it, the sky’s the limit. I want the world to know that no matter what anybody says, don’t listen to the opinions of others stop you from what you want to do.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’d take them to Downtown Dallas. The city is filled with lights and has a beautiful view for sure. The art there, the graffiti, the environment itself all around is amazing. There’s places like Dallas Museum Of Art, The Aquarium, etc. The food places here are amazing for sure like The Liam’s Steakhouse, STK Steakhouse, etc. The people are creative here and it’s a lot of creative people you can meet.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Man my mom and my dad. They both helped me throughout my life and gave me the motivation to do anything. One thing I’ve learned from them that has passed on to me is to never let anybody stop you from what YOU want to achieve and your goals. You do what you love and you have the passion and the drive for it and you do it. Don’t let fear hold you back. Having fear is great now push yourself past those limits of fear and don’t let it stop you, overcome it.
