I'm an apparel designer passionate about product development and womenswear that balances thoughtful design with commercial appeal. My work spans both ready to wear and contemporary occasionwear, exploring how the modern woman moves seamlessly from work to self-expression through color, texture, and distinctive silhouettes.

While earning my degree in Apparel Design, I designed and developed a five-piece businesswear collection from concept through production for women with wide hip to waist ratios, strengthening my skills in research, pattern development, fittings, garment construction, and product refinement. My capstone collection expanded on that foundation through contemporary eveningwear, exploring bold color, sculptural silhouettes, and the evolving wardrobe of today's professional woman. I also assisted with costume development for Dreamgirls at The Oakland School for the Arts, contributing to pattern adjustments, sample sewing, and fittings.

Most recently, as a Design Assistant at Verriere & Sako, I supported the development of the SS 2027 Paris Fashion Week collection, working on pattern adjustments, sample construction, markers, fittings, and design refinement. Working at Moncler further strengthened my appreciation for luxury craftsmanship, quality, and the details that shape exceptional product.

I'm excited to continue growing in product development and contribute to a team that values thoughtful design, collaboration, and creating products that people love to wear.
