The Full Story
About
My interest in garment construction began in childhood, shaped by the quiet rituals of watching my grandmother—a teacher and highly skilled seamstress—at work. From a chest of stored garments in the attic, she would reimagine and transform pieces into something entirely new. That early exposure shaped how I see clothing today: not just as product, but as a form of storytelling—where material, memory, and intention come together.
While I have a strong foundation in garment construction, my work is driven by concept, narrative, and a deep understanding of the customer. My experience spans tailoring, bridal couture, soft wovens, and knits, allowing me to design across categories with versatility and clarity of vision. I am particularly drawn to the balance between structure and fluidity—creating pieces that feel considered, relevant, and wearable.
My creative process is rooted in rigorous research and a sharp sensitivity to emerging trends. I am highly attuned to shifts in culture, behavior, and aesthetics, and I translate those insights into designs that resonate in the market while maintaining a distinct point of view. I approach each collection as a cohesive story, ensuring that every piece contributes to a larger narrative while standing on its own.
Handwork, particularly embroidery, has played an important role in shaping my attention to detail and appreciation for craftsmanship. Alongside this, fashion illustration—supported by my fine arts background—remains a key tool in my process, allowing me to explore, refine, and clearly communicate ideas.
With a diverse background and extensive travel, I bring a globally informed perspective to my work. Exposure to different cultures and ways of dress continues to influence my approach, helping me design with both awareness and intention.
I see design as the intersection of creativity and strategy—where storytelling, research, and intuition come together to create product that is not only compelling, but also relevant and commercially successful.
