Wearable Art

I am an out-of-the-box thinker who possesses a dual affinity for Arts and Science as well as the intersection of the two disciplines. My education at the Fashion Institute of Technology has equipped me with traditional technical design capabilities such as draping and pattern making. My aptitude for experimentation has initiated my expertise in a range of innovative design approaches.
