ABOUT

WHO. WHY. WHAT. HOW.

I learned to design around four questions while studying Creative Construction under Yeohlee Teng at Parsons: who I’m designing for, why the idea matters, what it can become, and how to make it. Those questions still guide every collection I work on, with equal weight on aesthetics, construction, and commercial purpose.

I’m a New York-based womenswear designer with more than a decade in luxury and contemporary ready-to-wear. At Jonathan Cohen, I developed each season’s story through collection concepts, original prints, embroidery, and custom textiles. I also contributed creative concepts and visual direction to the brand’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund presentation.

In the contemporary market, I held lead design roles and created special projects and capsule collections for 1.STATE, Elyse Walker, MSK, and DVF. As Head Designer at Parker New York, I led the brand’s relaunch across five seasons of dresses and separates and supported its expansion into Nordstrom and other retail partners.

I now consult for emerging and established womenswear brands on design direction and collection development, from first concept to final product.

My work starts with the woman who wears it: what she needs, how each detail is built, and how a garment earns its place in her everyday life.
