Well hello there nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by to check out my work. After 15 years in the industry, and designing for over 50 companies my breadth of work is quite extensive.
Beginning at a young age I had a love for art and design. Already in high school I was studying fiber art at Skidmore College and textiles at FIT. I then went on to focus on textiles at Philadelphia University, and studied abroad in London at Chelsea College of Art & Design. In 2009 I received my bachelor's degree from FIT in Textile & Surface Design.
Hitting the ground running out of college I began my career designing contract fabrics for the hospitality industry. This manufacturer partnered with a mill close to home in Newark, New Jersey where I could see my designs come to life in real time. This period of my life I consider my second education. Working directly with vendors and manufacturers to create everything from textiles to marketing materials, I had a hand in everything the company created.
From this point on I was hooked on the process of making design come to life. To start from an idea and end with a materialized product is still thrill inducing. With an eye towards the future, always envisioning what comes next.
