I am a designer, a patternmaker and an artist. Most of all, I enjoy the process of making things. I'm originally from Chicago, and graduated from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) focused on Fashion/Apparel. I worked in the fashion industry in NYC for 16 years and currently am living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
I freelance as a designer and patternmaker and have worked for brands including Monse, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Jeffrey Dodd, Lein Studio, Gary Graham, Norisol Ferrari, Bonnie Young, Electric Feathers, Outlier, Protagonist, and Rite of Passage.
I enjoy a good cappuccino, time spent in the garden, and working on my home.
