Design isn’t just my profession — it’s the lens through which I view the world around me.

From an early age, I was drawn to the magic of clothing as a form of self-expression and storytelling. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of weekends spent with my grandmother, sifting through generations of treasures in her attic and hunting for secondhand gems at local garage sales. Unknowingly, these moments sparked my lifelong fascination with vintage pieces and designer fashion.

 

In my teen years, I discovered a deeper connection between style and confidence. Helping others feel empowered through what they wore became a passion — one that evolved into a career rooted in creativity, identity, and purpose. I’ve come to believe that fashion isn’t frivolous; it’s transformational. And sometimes, all it takes is a needle and thread to tell someone’s story.

 

My professional path began earning a B.A. in Marketing and Consumer Science from the University of Tennessee, followed by a B.F.A. in Product Development from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. While pursuing my career on the West Coast, I also co-founded a women’s boutique in Tennessee in 2013, merging my love of styling with hands-on experience in branding, inventory, and digital marketing.

 

Today, I specialize in womenswear — from affordable luxury and ready-to-wear to lifestyle, loungewear, and activewear. I’ve worked on the design floors of some of my most admired fashion labels, always striving to create with both innovation and impact in mind.

 

Beyond design, I’m passionate about traveling, graphic art, music & arts festivals, and giving back through volunteer work. My mission? To keep growing as a creative, to collaborate with visionary minds, and to contribute meaningfully to a more thoughtful, sustainable fashion future in this ever-evolving, tech-driven world.
