Over the past 7 years, I have focused on learning, practicing, and perfecting evening wear and couture techniques and keeping the art of the hand alive. I have been fortunate enough to have been trained under couture seamstresses, talented tailors, illustrators, and some of the finest stitchers on Broadway.

I began my career working as the Head Tailor on the Fox hit tv show, Empire, and stayed with them throughout Season 3. During my Junior year of study at Parsons, I was given the opportunity to work in the Wardrobe Department on one of the longest running musicals of all time, Wicked. Working with Tony Award winning costumes that have couture and evening wear elements has allowed me to execute new techniques and grow my skill set.

While training on the design side of the industry, I have also directed photo shoots working closely with photographers, set builders, and lighting designers to create one of a kind sets to showcase my collections.

Throughout my school and industry careers, I have strived to develop outstanding abilities which include evening wear design, pattern making, draping, technical design, tailoring, and sewing. Most recently, these skills and a positive mindset allowed me to design, pattern, and construct my entire senior thesis collection.
