Fashion – Los Angeles

I was born and raised in Chicago, IL by a single mother who is a painter / artist. I have always enjoyed creating / experimenting with different materials: paint, polymer clay, craft floss, scrapbooking, beads, jewelry, etc. In high school I took a sewing class and discovered my passion for fashion. I was ecstatic that I could finally be in charge of my own wardrobe and started making my clothes instead of buying them. My desire to learn led me to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles, CA. After graduation I worked for a variety of companies designing costumes, lingerie, swimwear, women’s, mens and baby boy clothing. I love and appreciate that I am able to work in an industry that fuels my spirit and ambitions. I continue to design and make my own clothes and hope others will want to wear them too.
