Originally from Atlanta, I graduated from Savannah Collage of Art and Design with a BFA in Fiber Art and Minor in Graphic Design.

I made my way to Philadelphia in 2007 for my first job in fashion as an intern with Urban Outfitters for Free People. I was then hired as a design assistant to help build a new brand for Free People called We The Free. I contributed to apparel, graphics, trend, and branding for both wholesale + retail. By 2009 We The Free had three stores in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. 

Still focusing on fashion but concentrating on graphics for lifestyle apparel, in 2010 I started freelancing for Aritzia. I worked in and out of Aritzia's support office based in Vancouver BC, quickly earning a full-time position. During my time at Aritzia I worked on several labels including TNA, Wilfred, and Talula. 

I’m a passionate creative that is recognized for colorful ideas and a proven record in generating fashion-forward prints for the ready-to-wear market, I have been lucky enough to see my designs worn by celebrities at award shows, television shows and on the street.

After stepping away from the workforce to start a family, I am eager to resume my professional career now that my children are school-aged. Currently I am building a portfolio of pattern and prints sold through various online markets and open to full time employment + freelance opportunities.
