Nice to meet you.

I am a thoughtful fashion & surface designer, fashion educator and imaginative maker based in Columbia, MO. My surface pattern design is a pastiche of references, and it’s all about the mix—melding hand and digital, organizing organic motifs, blending cultural or historic references. My fashion design work ranges from creative to technical and is informed by market and trend research.

I believe that design and education can enlighten, empower and transform. My work is inspired by other worlds glimpsed in books and film, nature walks and my travels outside Missouri. 

My specialities include fashion concept & collection development, surface design, branding, trend forecasting & surveillance, portfolio development, apparel engineering & technical design.
