About

I am a fashion designer, I enjoy drawing so fashion illustration is my all time favourite pass time to do. I also enjoy pattern making and doing trend forecasting!My favourite things to design as avant garde, and haute couture. Fantasy is my biggest inspiration for all my designs.When I started studying fashion, I told my story of how I studied animation but didn’t feel like I had freedom. Always restricted with rules and how I’m supposed to draw a certain way. I love to write and create stories with original characters I create and I always thought animation was the way to bring them to life but I was wrong. Fashion is the answer! Being able to still draw what I enjoy but also having the ability to envision it as a garment and having it made to reality. I want to express my art into fashion. Being my illustration and stories to life! And not just with fantasy but with history as well. For my final year collection at Seneca I created a Argentina inspired collection that envisioned the history and culture in a fantasy twist.

Argentum: A Fantasy Reborn

This costume collection reimagines Argentina as a celestial fantasy realm where history, culture, and national icons become mythic figures. Draping, beaded embroidery, and structured forms transform heritage into goddesses, warriors, and guardians. Heavy cotton canvas provides strength and sculptural structure.
