about

bio

As a Fashion Designer and Product Developer, I am confident in my ability to claim that design and fashion is an integral part of how I understand the world. Clothing, in my opinion, has an inescapable relationship to self-expression and shaping culture. In my early days as a young traveler, I’ve always found a tangible pleasure and beauty in colors, textiles, and silhouettes from styles around the world.

I was eager to broaden my worldview as I pursued a Bachelors degree in International Studies and Marketing while maintaining fashion jobs and internships on the side. These experiences helped me decide to gain a greater perspective through more internship roles and further within the licensing apparel industry.

Now after graduating from Academy of Art with a MFA degree in Fashion Product Development, my main priority is to enhance my skills further in product development and design.

This portfolio represents my design accomplishments in the three years. It displays my technical skills from hand rendering, digital and hand-drawn flats, branding, and line development. With these skills, I hope to continuously expand my career within the fashion product development industry while infusing my love for international cultures.
