About
Living in New York City looking to work in women's wear as a CAD print and textile designer. Graduated with a BFA in Apparel Design from the Rhode Island School of Design, and recently graduated with an MA in Fashion Studies from Parsons the New School. I love working with fabric and color: I have a great eye for it, know what works and doesn't work, and know the various textile and print production techniques.
