About

At its core, my work revolves around versatility and transformation. I am drawn to contrast, unexpected pairings, and evolving perspectives, creating designs that reflect the layered nature of identity. Across fashion textiles and hospitality, my work explores how narrative and visual language can shift depending on context, environment, and audience.I am fascinated by the ways people express different sides of themselves through what they wear and the spaces they inhabit. This fluidity fuels my creative process and inspires me to move between aesthetic directions, from textural bohemian and vintage inspired ideas to more structured or graphic expressions. I design prints and patterns with specific narratives in mind, developing collections inspired by imagined clients and atmospheres. Beginning with client brand research, studying past collections and color palette then moving into trend research to identify what resonates with contemporary audiences. I then hand paint motifs using watercolor, gouache and color pencil before  moving into digital rendering. From romantic cottagecore palettes to victorian inspired damasks, to calming, emotionally resonated prints, each project considers how pattern, color, and texture shape mood and experience.

Textiles for Fashion

This collection is a continuation of my lethally lovely mini series. exploring one of the intriguing side effects of encountering the Angel’s Trumpet, hallucination. Rather than leaning into the chaotic, hyper-psychedelic aesthetic, I sought a more sophisticated interpretation of surrealism, dreamlike, yet grounded in elegance and curiosity. I’ve curated a series of one statement print and five coordinating designs intended for outdoor fall apparel in the F/W ’27 season. The focus is on layered silhouettes and subtle imagery that invites a second glance.
