I am a graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts Degree in Accessories Design. Designing has always been my greatest passion, and I believe that accessories tell a personal story of the users, as they are essential things that complete an outfit. I specialize in not only leather accessories, but also millinery, cold weather accessories and print design.

I am also familiar with sourcing materials since I have had to find leathers and hardware to create my samples. Before I start to design, I would make mood boards to arrange my inspirations and sort out my ideas. To create my designs, I am both comfortable with hand rendering and Adobe Illustrator.
