About
In third grade, I decided to become a Fashion Designer. A life-long experience of learning and immersing myself in different areas of the industry has taught me not just to design pretty things, but construct other realities where fashion can meaningfully add to a user's life.
​
Currently in my final year of a 5-year Fashion Design program at the University of Cincinnati. Developing hands-on skills in Womenswear, Menswear, Unisex, and Accessories with a passion for sustainable practices and concepts.
Design Ethos
My personal design philosophy is about striking the ideal balance between needs and wants, i.e. practicality and style, without sacrifice. As a reflection of one’s personality, fashion should never require compromising on self-expression, comfort, and values. Sustainability, functionality, and beauty are all qualities that can and should exist in all things from inception to production to reclamation.
​
As a designer I believe that good ideas are worth pursuing if they are meant to contribute more to a wearers life; ease of use, ease of dress, ease of care. By thinking through different touch point scenarios of the consumer/garment relationship, I find opportunities to improve peoples' experiences and their interactions with the items they wear.
