Fashion – Toronto

I began designing my own dresses for figure skating when I was 13 years old and continued to build on my fashion design skills in my early 20’s when I learned techniques for basic couture pattern drafting. 4 years ago I learned how to knit and I LOVE IT! As a winter sport athlete I love and depend on the use of knit fabrics and clothing as it is comfortable and easy to layer. 6 years ago I ran away to join a circus and one of the skills I picked up there is balloon twisting. I have added my own personal touch by joining both techniques of knitting and knowledge of balloon twisting to create my line of knit balloon animal toys.
