About Me

I am a designer, fine artist and educator living in Brooklyn, New York. My focus is in fashion and fiber-based work that combines the technical engineering of fashion design with the conceptual, ideological pursuits of fine arts. My areas of expertise are:

• Design and Production for Fine Artists and Institutions: Specializing in hand and machine sewn projects with traditional and non-traditional materials. Patternmaking, design, and production for garments and sculptural works.

• Custom Designs: Clothing, accessories, home decor, product prototypes, etc.

• Sewing instruction: Private and group lessons in garment construction, accessories, home goods and more.

I specialize in clothing, accessories, textiles hand-felted, dyed and stitched. Environmental sustainability is important to my process, using natural fibers and reclaimed materials in my work. A historical fashion enthusiast, I skillfully create vintage reproduction garments and repair original vintage pieces using period construction techniques and hand finishings. I worked as a Studio Assistant to artist Nick Cave in 2010 and 2011, using meticulous hand sewing techniques used to create embroidered, quilted, and appliqued surface designs for his Sound Suits. I have also produced work for and assisted:

• Swoon
• Eduardo Navarro
• Anthea Hamilton
• Orly Genger
• Frieze Projects New York
