About me

I'm a versatile fashion design professional working across education, consulting, and entrepreneurship, with expertise in taking ideas from concept to production.

As a fashion educator and course developer at ICA Institute in Brooklyn, I created and teach part of their fashion program. I focus on the technical side of design, helping aspiring designers and brand owners gain the skills and organization they need to bring their ideas to life, from building tech packs and understanding construction to choosing the right fabrics and working with factories.

As a freelance consultant and designer, I specialize in 70s/80s-inspired branding and design, partnering with independent small brands to provide creative direction, design development, and a highly personalized experience that helps them launch or grow.

I'm also the co-founder and designer of Mary and Shelley, a line of vintage- and music-inspired, alternative fashion accessories made from deadstock materials that would otherwise be discarded. Co-founded with my former fashion school classmate, Mary and Shelley reflects our belief in individual expression and our commitment to empowering independent artists and designers.

Whether I'm teaching, designing, or collaborating behind the scenes, my work is about helping creatives build brands that feel true to who they are — and making sure the process is not just creative, but long-lasting and profitable.
