Passionate and driven graduate from the Fashion Institute of Technology, with a BFA in fashion design and a minor in art history. 

I posses strong skills in draping, pattern making, sewing, sketching, and a variety of computer programs. Additionally, I have 5 years of customer service experience, that has helped me develop excellent communication skills. 

As a designer I am focused on hand crafted details, sustainability, and storytelling. I look forward to bringing my unique perspective and love for design to the fashion industry.
