I am a fashion business owner and alterations specialist with years of production and planning experience. I bring a hands-on, collaborative approach to building and scaling a design house, from concept to sample and production. I run a fashion design studio, work across design, pattern making, and production of handmade clothing, and I weave photography and graphic design into my creative practice. I actively support local creatives with studio rentals, fashion pop-ups, and workshops, including in the LGBTQIA2s+ community.
