About
I live and breathe the creative arts. I find textures and feelings from every day things and combine this with popular culture from different eras and modernize it with new technique. These techniques include but are not limited to innovative print methods, washes, embellishments, etc. I invite you to explore my world of artistic expression used to bring current and new trends to the fashion world and popular culture.
