Nice to meet you!

I’ve been a designer in the apparel industry for about 8 years, since getting my BFA in Communications design from Pratt Institute, working for active and outdoor apparel brands for mass retailers. I'm constantly discovering more parallels in how deeply we are drawn to telling stories, and ultimately, community. Clothing can embellish, hide, transform a person, evoke a feeling, and bring people together. Brand design has the power to do the same things, but on a bigger scale. It's simply in our nature to embellish, and seek comfort and community through stories.

So, if you have a story to tell the world, or an idea that needs cultivating, I'd love to hear about it. You can fill out a short form below, or shoot me an email. Let's connect.
