Biography
I graduated in 2013 with a BFA in Fashion Design with honors from Otis College of Art and Design. I’ve designed under the instruction of designers from Nike and Stewart and Brown in the mentor project offered by my school. Through the school, I’ve had experience in pattern-making and garment construction along with fashion illustration for both woven and knit garments. I have also participated in the summer internship program at Hurley and continued on to work at Abercrombie and Fitch in the Men’s Rugged Knits department as an assistant designer.
