ABOUT
Skilled in Project Management, Product Development, Textiles, Wovens, Tech Packs, Fashion, and Design. Bachelor of Arts degree for Textile and Surface design from Fashion Institute of Technology with a strong focus on Screen Printing and Jacquard Wovens.
During my time working on luxury goods, I honed in on my astute and keen eye for detail. I have become more patient and meticulous and have developed the ability to react quickly to change. I strongly believe that intelligent design is greater than the ego; I happily encourage critique and open dialogue along the creative process.
I love working with my hands and one of my favorite things to do is to put on an album, sit at my loom, and weave. I love the process of getting lost in the rhythm and creating a plane of fabric.
