I'm a fashion & costume designer, who's passionate about telling a story through clothing. What we wear is the first thing that tells the world who we are, so making clothing that can encapsulate us as people is something special. 

 

Designing clothing from the inside out is something really important to me! Thinking about the wearer's experience and how I can make the seams themselves a part of the design. Every little detail matters when building a world to be experienced!

​

Over time, I've accumulated a diverse mix of skills and experiences that each play a part in how I approach clothing. My time working with historical garments have shown me pieces and techniques from true craftsmen. Studying textiles has allowed me to think at the fiber level and how manipulating the fabric alone can impact the garment. 

​

Whatever the project, I approach with an orientation to detail and craftsmanship with a drive to create an experience never had before.
