About
My passion has always derived from figuring out how garments are constructed and learning new ways to make creative visions a reality. To any problem, there is always a solution and nothing is impossible. The adventure is in figuring it out. My experience in design reflects my ability to think outside the box and my previous accounting experience exemplifies my attention to detail. I'm passionate about living a sustainable life through foraging, creating, and innovation. Taking a breath while surrounding myself in the beauty of nature allows me to bring that focused attention into my work. As I continue my journey, I lead with an open mind and open heart, with the hopes of changing the world.
