After receiving a BA in Marketing from the University of Washington Business School in 1997, I continued to follow my passion and pursue fashion design. In the crazy year of 1999, I graduated from the esteemed Apparel Design program at Seattle Central College. Since then I have used my design talent and skills in patternmaking, sewing, and production to work at various fashion brands. I have held design positions at Mecca USA, Sergio Valente Jeans, & Greensource, all the while expressing my love for indie fashion by styling and designing for Seattle fashion shows and related events. I have also shared my passion for design & marketing by mentoring aspiring fashion students and teaching an experimental college class called "The Urban Fashion Experience."
Here are just of few of some of my favorite works. As always, you can click on each image for a larger view. Enjoy!
