My Creative Journey
About
From concept to creation, I'm interested in all aspects of design. My passion is bringing an idea to life.
Send me a sketch or an idea and I'll figure out how to make it--and make it fit you.
I graduated from SCAD in 2020, soon after COVID lockdowns, with a BFA in Fashion Design. I thought because of the pandemic, maybe it was time to take a break from fashion ---- especially with the future being so up in the air. I moved back home to Kansas City which is where I found passion to be creative again. Not that patternmaking isn't creative, but I began exploring and experimenting with different mediums and techniques JUST FOR FUN. The last time I did something like that was back in high school... It was liberating and exciting, but it also reminded me how much I missed fashion; including deadlines, critiques, problem solving, fittings, draping, patternmaking, etc.. I'm actively looking for opportunities to apply this passion of mine.

While interning at Atelier Nicolas Caito, I had the amazing opportunity to work on garments that went down the runway. From baby-hemming 40+ individual squares, to creating patterns and cutter's musts, to the frantic, last-minute finishings, I was able to help bring someone's vision to life.
