Profile

After more than 17 years working with both emerging and renowned fashion companies across New York City; including senior design roles at DKNY Jeans International, Donna Karan, and Armani; I transitioned into the field of digital fashion. I specialize in bridging innovative technologies with proven craftsmanship, redefining how garments are designed, developed, and experienced. By integrating digital tools such as 3D design, virtual prototyping, and visualization, my work supports more sustainable practices by reducing material waste, minimizing physical sampling, and enabling more efficient production processes. My practice spans creative direction, product development, and education. Since 2021, I have served as an adjunct professor, teaching conceptual, research-driven studio courses that emphasize critical thinking, systems-based design, and visual storytelling, alongside foundational skills such as sewing, draping, pattern drafting, and 3D design as an accredited CLO3D instructor. As the creative director of my eponymous ethical luxury ready-to-wear brand, I integrate sustainability, universal design, and DEIA principles into both my professional and academic work, empowering designers to embrace digital tools as catalysts for innovation, inclusivity, and responsible design.
