As a kid I was constantly trying to create my own clothing line, sketching ideas and sewing pieces together at home. While I wasn't able to achieve the volume of pieces my 10-year-old-brain envisioned, each sample was passionately crafted with love and optimism. That curiosity stuck with me and still shapes how I approach projects now.

The overachiever in me led me to graduate with a B.S. in Neuroscience from Emory University. Although I found it fascinating learning why we think the way we do, I knew in my heart scientific research wasn’t the path for me. Shortly after graduating, I found myself soley applying positions in the creative sector. All that pent up creative energy, finally bubbling to the surface.

I began working in studio environments where I was surrounded by images, products, and people all working toward the same finished result. Over time, I realized I was paying less attention to the camera and more to everything around it — how clothing sat on the body, how small adjustments changed the feel of a piece, and how much preparation went into what eventually looks effortless.

I naturally gravitated toward the organizational and hands-on side of the process: preparing samples, helping with fittings, and keeping projects moving when there were a lot of moving parts. My analytical side shows up here more than I expected — I enjoy noticing what isn’t quite working yet, breaking a problem down, and figuring out small adjustments that help a piece come together.

My background still shapes how I see proportion and presentation, but what interests me most now is the process behind a finished piece: the collaboration, the revisions, and the small decisions that turn an idea into something someone can actually wear.
