ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, I have always been captivated by fashion and style. My passion for the craft solidified at the age of 13 when I decided to pursue fashion design seriously.

​

I began my formal training at The High School of Fashion Industries, where I learned the fundamentals of garment construction, hand and digital illustration, and conceptualization. Following high school,      

I briefly attended SCAD Atlanta before transferring to The Fashion Institute of Technology. At F.I.T, I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design with specialization in Intimate Apparel. This two-year focus allowed me to develop advanced skills and techniques, honing my expertise in this intricate craft.

​

Beyond my academic background, I bring nearly a decade of retail experience, starting as a sales associate and advancing to a corporate role in the luxury sector. This dual perspective—from the retail floor to the corporate office—has given me a comprehensive understanding of the fashion industry, from production to post-production.
