With a strong design point of view, I take my strengths in color, bold lines, and outlandishness and provide a direct message of my inspirations. I am constantly fueled by random creativity and take the art of experimentation beyond limits. My aesthetic is driven towards strong, bold color combinations and graphic elements. Raised in a military family, I’ve always traveled, thus developing at an early age an appreciation for different cultures and a unique point of view. I come from a creative family and art has always been my strongest element. I realized I wanted to become a designer at a very young age and never stopped on my journey to achieve my goal. I now travel the world, constantly searching for inspiration to create visually pleasing pieces of art.

After earning my Associate’s Degree in Fashion Design in New York I traveled to Milan, Italy where I’ve earned a Bachelor’s in International Fashion Design. I also hold a Bachelor’s in Business Management. I have an appreciation for creativity and business.

I have a solid communicative background due to a diverse exposure to various business and creative settings. I’ve worked in the financial district for several years before lending creative assistance to Alice + Olivia and Chistian Siriano in New York, and Agnona and Missoni in Italy. Through my experiences I’ve developed a foundation for planning and organizing.

I have thorough experience with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design, and Bridge, as well as Microsoft Office suite. I am familiar with the product life cycle of wovens as well as knitwear, from concept to collection showings.

I have been fortunate in my travels to work with different people and experience different cultures. I’ve learned that regardless of the division in the fashion industry, similar problems are unavoidable. I am able to help find innovative, cost-effective, and swift solutions to long and short-term problems.
