ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a costume designer, fashion designer, digital illustrator, and story teller at heart who is fascinated by people and the power of identity. I advocate for fearless self expression in my work and I hope to empower others to be their best selves through the clothing that I create. I feel the importance to provide affirmation and support to those who need it. I hope to grow in a way that reaches people who rarely find that freedom to be themselves.
