Meet De’Gandhi: The Visionary Behind iModelsNW

I’m De’Gandhi, a Gen X model, actress, educator, and founder of iModelsNW—where fashion, technology, and self-determination meet.

For over 30 years, I’ve worked in front of the camera and behind the scenes: walking runways, directing shows, raising seven children, and helping hundreds of aspiring creatives find the courage to shine. My story is rooted in resilience. I didn’t wait for permission to be seen. I learned the system, made it work for me, and now I teach others to do the same.

​

In 2022, I began exploring the power of AI—not just as a tool, but as a creative partner. Today, I help models, content creators, and business owners train their AI avatars, build digital portfolios, and book opportunities they once thought were out of reach. My own AI twin, Devorah, is proof that you don’t need anyone’s approval to build a global brand. You just need strategy, vision, and the right support.

​

iModelsNW is more than a modeling brand. It’s a movement for those of us who were told we were too old, too urban, too “late,” or too different to succeed. Whether you’re stepping into the spotlight for the first time or reclaiming it in your 40s and 50s, this platform is for you.

​

We’re done waiting. We’re building our own lanes—digitally and in real life.

​

Let this powerhouse help you create yours.
