As a fashion designer with experience in luxury and contemporary brands, I seek to unveil and give human representation to the internal landscape we humans often conceal. Aesthetically, this translates to my deep interest in linearity and the ways in which lines can alter the human body. I utilize hand techniques such as pintucks, beading, and applied cording to slow down the process and allow for moments of deep contemplation and reverie. Inspired by intricate couture work, I strive to create thoughtfully crafted, beautiful garments.

With a background in both design and production, I am able to execute designs from beginning to completion. I am not afraid to undertake large projects, and at the age of 23 found myself managing the atelier for Oscar Carvallo Paris and serving as the Creative Director’s right hand. I am able to quickly understand a brand’s aesthetic and tailor my skills to best match their needs. I challenge myself to learn new construction and design techniques, and hope to continually enhance my knowledge of responsible, forward thinking design.
