About

Highly innovative and motivated designer of excellence in research and visualizing capability. In pursuit of more creatively challenging roles exploring new ideas and concepts. Interest lie in the intersection of sustainability, communication and consumer insight, seeking to find new paths in fashion industry utilizing years of design executive, content development, social media and project management experience in fashion industry.

This collection is inspired by fossils born and crafted uniquely from nature over time and how their appearance gives way to its provenance and history. This idea was translated into garments via modularity- the idea that much like nature crafts no two stones alike- the wearer can interact with the seaming and cuts via buttoned closures to create a garment that is like their own personal sculpture. This buildability and interchangeability allows for the wearer to combine art and everyday life, memory and lived experience and to give a faceted peak into their own ever changing inner life. The connected panels create a layered story of ourselves, serving as our own memory fossil. The modularity and adjustability also allows the garment to be size and gender inclusive and promotes sustainability as the timeless, slow-fashion garment can be worn for years in many ways thus reducing the need to purchase more.
