About

I am a Fashion Designer, Illustrator and Maker of things!

I have a BFA in Fashion Design from Columbus College of Art & Design.  I have worked as an Accessory Designer for such brands as Bath & Body Works and Life is Good.

In my spare time I love to create create create! I make custom bikinis for female bodybuilders and have had several competitors (including myself) wear my creations on stage. I have also shown my bikinis in several different runway shows including Highball Halloween in Columbus, OH and fashion shows held at Midway Studios art gallery in Boston, MA.  Additionally, I do custom Fashion Illustrations and have donated my collages to Life is Art - a charity event that benefits the Life is Good Playmakers.

I have been an artist since I was very young and truly believe I have been given a gift.  Nothing brings me greater joy than to create and share my work with others.

“The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that
without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.”
