About Me.
I’m a designer driven by curiosity, creativity, and craft. I specialize in apparel and textiles, and I love exploring how fabrics and details can transform ideas into wearable stories. My background spans apparel design, fabrication, and graphic design, and I thrive at the intersection of artistry and function. Whether I’m sketching a collection, experimenting with textures, or knitting by hand, I bring passion and precision to everything I create.
