Fall 2012 Collection: 

I approach my designs from a sculptor’s perspective, blending natural and urban worlds into garments that are utilitarian yet romantic, solid yet soft. By repurposing materials from vintage shops, thrift stores, and yard sales, I am able to sustainably contribute to fashion, a skill that will become increasingly necessary as our world adapts to environmental constraints. My collection celebrates the beauty found in resourcefulness.
