Fashion – Dallas - Fort Worth

There is a story and a history to every garment that is made, created, worn, and idolized. As a designer I am beyond fascinated with the amazing stories that can be told with the most simplistic seeming of mediums. I come from a small town in the almost middle of nowhere in Texas where the only entertainment one could find was truly of your own making. My imagination propelled me through art and literature and eventually into Science fiction that gave me a passion for creating and, eventually when it all settled, Fashion Design. I cultivated, grew, and by the time I graduated from the University of North Texas, I knew full well that I didn\'t want to go work for years and struggle under someone else\'s name, only to emerge afterwards-- I wanted to grow on my own. To discover and create my own label and be part of the great tradition of independent designers.
