I come from a long line of dressmakers, tailors, fabric store owners, and fiber artists. I first took an interest in sewing and designing at a young age, and was encouraged to follow my passion all the way to fashion school. I received a BFA in fashion design from Pratt Institute, and went on to pursue a Master’s in Human Sexuality Education from Widener University five years later. I knew that I wanted to bring the lessons I learned there about consent, bodily autonomy, and body diversity into the realm of fashion. 

As a petite-plus-size person, I am passionate about designing for the wide variety of body shapes and sizes that exist in the world. 

I also feel an obligation to steer the fashion industry away from its wasteful, profit-at-all-cost status quo and back toward the creative process that enables local artisans to build skills and thrive.
