Experience
As a fashion designer with 10 years of experience and a lifelong dancer with 30 years in the industry, I bring a unique mix of technical skill and real-world understanding to creating contemporary and performance-ready pieces. My couture background allows me to merge precision tailoring with movement-focused construction, creating garments that are as beautiful as they are functional, blend technical precision with firsthand knowledge of movement, fit, and function.
