Profile
Graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technolgy with a specialization in Knitwear, I am a multidisciplinary designer based in New York, working across color development, contructive and textile-driven design. From concept to execution, I am driven by the intersection of creativity and functionality with color and texture as my signature tools.
