introduction
I am a womenswear designer who recently
relocated from New York City to San Francisco.
I spent the last four years running every aspect of
my eponymous luxury ready-to-wear line.
I have a decade of experience in conceptualizing
a collection from sketch to source material
and developing samples to scaling production
for knit and woven categories.
I care deeply about design integrity and
longevity, thoughtful construction details and
impeccable fit. Equally important
is a design process that values collaboration,
social responsibility and sustainability.
Collection
Here is a selection of work from various collections,
highlighting an edit of knitwear pieces
and woven garments.
EDITORIAL
I organized, styled, and executed an editorial campaign to showcase real women who inspire me, wearing the collection.
