Design, Atelier - Pattern Cutting, Sustainable Design

My beautiful Grandmother first taught me my passion for sewing when I was 7. I had an eager ambition to be as similar to her as possible, and she cultivated my admiration by showing me all she knew. In the process sparking my immense passion to work in design, while using my skills to help others. My intention is to create clothes that tell a story and hopefully speak to people as they speak to me. My goals are to create a company that not only highlights fashion and innovation, but to focus on community building, and sustainability within the fashion industry.
