As a designer my philosophy is to create an experience.  Fashion is an art-form is often overlooked by the average consumer with the rise of fast fashion and mass production at the expense of quality. It is my goal to bring into focus the artistic intention  of a design team in the pursuit of a shared vision. There is something powerful about fashion as a decorative art. This is because "decorative" as a descriptor was commonly used as a derogatory term to critique art on a basis of misogyny. It was believed that a curated skill populous among women was inherently less worthy. I want to reclaim the craft and reinvent an understanding of decoration. My wish is to challenge people with my designs, to criticize patriarchal systems and inherited opinions about female dominated fields.

I am an accomplished storyteller within my work. I create a universe for my vision and work expressively with every fabric manipulation, stitch, and drape until I am satisfied with the tale I am telling. I achieve this with eye for detail as well as my abilities in conceptualization. My skills for illustration in particular is one of the main ways I build my concept and communicate an explicit "mood".  Drapery is also among my talents, and I often use it as a tool for added dimension, drama, and movement.
