Born in central Florida, I have always sought out creative escapes, often finding inspiration in antiques and the stories they carry. Each discovery deepened my understanding of the many layers that shape our world and sparked a desire to preserve this knowledge for others. Over time, this fascination evolved into a practice rooted in learning, collecting, and honoring the quiet work of unnamed artisans.
My design approach centers on the human aspects of making. I value details that are purposeful, adaptable, and enduring, such as adjustable tailoring and garments that shift to fit multiple sizes throughout life. These elements are not only practical but also a way to preserve meaningful design traditions, creating work that connects past craft to present needs.
