Hey y'all! I'm a fashion designer and illustrator based in Dallas, TX. I specialize in trend and market analysis, engineered multi-function fashion and designs with complex construction, including corsetry, bridal, athletic wear, and handbag design. I'm the one that smiles a lot and always finds a positive spin on an unpleasant situation. My coworkers will tell you I'm easy-going with a fierce work ethic, and my friends will tell you I'm supportive with an infectious enthusiasm. When I'm not engineering a new design, you can find me at the park with my nose in a sketchbook or instructing an aerial dance/fitness class.
