An experienced freelance fashion, textile, and tech designer with a passion for all things creative. Transforming concepts into reality through art, craft, and design is my forte. I currently specialize in denim, however, I'm constantly seeking to utilize and expand my knowledge and experience through additional opportunities. My skill set includes, but is not limited to, creative, technical, and apparel design. Other areas of expertise that I nurture are drawing, painting, writing, and similar artistic modes of expression. With a BFA in fashion design, a minor in fashion merchandising, and a strong base in customer service and sewing, I'm eager to make a difference and broaden my horizons within the fashion industry.
