As a natural born treasure hunter and gatherer, I have been collecting beautiful textiles including silk, velvet, lace, embroidery, needle point and other unusual finds all of my life. After years of collecting these treasures, I was inspired to purge my obsession and use these pieces to create things of beauty and function. This has become my creative outlet and results in beautiful items for others enjoyment.

Recycling is an integral part of my work. Taking throwaways and transforming them into treasures by creating something uniquely beautiful and functional is my passion. A reincarnation of magical times forgotten that translates into romantic, playful garments that are inspiring to wear. Unconventional fashion has always been a part of my avant-garde life and free spirited expression. You can find me wearing these pieces as well as fashioning them for others.

For me, it’s always about finding a new challenge and discovering the evolution of my designs. It would not be as much fun to make the same pattern over and over again. Although some designs may be similar along a theme, there are always variations making each piece different! It is part of my originality to intentionally use imperfect pieces of material because I believe some flaws give the garment its own character. In the end, every design created is a unique one-of-a-kind wearable piece of art where you can always expect the unexpected.
