Welcome! Follow along as I document my journey on building my fashion-forward brand.

Read about my struggles with having a chronic illness and what ultimately inspired me to design adaptive wear.

This multifunctional jacket and dress was selected for FIT’s AAS spring 2021 exhibition. My design was displayed in the window of the Great Hall on 27th Street and Seventh Avenue.

I am currently working toward a degree in fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. While I have acquired a lot of technical skills in my short time at FIT, I was previously self-taught, mainly through videos and blogs online.

The time I have spent in the fashion design program has been a valuable and priceless experience for me. Over the last four semesters, I have been able to find myself as a designer and explore my own goals of starting a brand with an adaptive wear line.
