I am a 22 year old product of the West Coast, Fashion Designer, Artist, and Aesthetics Enthusiast. Raised in the California Bay Area, I grew up with dreams of world peace and sunflowers in my backyard. I decided adamantly in the 7th grade that fashion was my calling and that I would dedicate myself wholeheartedly to it from there on out. The ocean breeze blew me away to Colorado for college, where I got my degree in Apparel Design and Production from Colorado State University. I spent the spring of my junior year studying abroad in London, during which I had the opportunity to work backstage at London Fashion Week, attend Premiere Vision in Paris, and perform a marketing internship with British Designer Amanda Wakeley. Back in America, I bought a one-way ticket to New York City to pursue a career in the fashion industry. I interned at Diane von Furstenberg and Marc Jacobs for a total of six months and came out of my experiences enlightened, informed, and inspired. My most recent milestone is that I have been selected to be featured as a designer for Williamsburg Fashion Weekend and will show an original collection this coming September!

Clothing is like music. It is the type of art that everyone can appreciate. It shapes our interactions, our moods, and it is accessible. Like a great song can trigger emotions and memories, the same applies to a special dress. Clothing is a reflection of who we are and the message that we want to deliver to the rest of the world. The message that I want to deliver to the world is- Feel beautiful in your clothes. Feel free in your clothes. Your clothes are your friends.
