From a young age, I’ve been captivated by fashion and view clothing as a powerful form of self-expression and a way to make a statement. I pursued formal training in fashion design where I built strong skills in sketching, pattern making, and garment construction to bring creative ideas to life. As a designer and tailor, I focus on creating garments that are both visually appealing and environmentally conscious. I also aim to deliver high-quality alteration and garment construction by ensuring customer requests are handled precisely, promptly, and according to standards.
