Once upon a time a little girl imagined her dream job as an artist, living in a huge brownstone in Brooklyn, with about 80 dogs to keep her company. While many things have changed since then, and I no longer want to be a dog mom of 80 pups, the desire to create art has never left me.

As a prior classical dancer with the San Francisco Ballet, a costume designer in New York City, and now as a creative working in fashion & luxury based in Paris, France, I am a curious entrepreneur on the hunt for new collaborations, dynamic opportunities, and inspiring explorations.

My ballet background has had a strong impact on the person I am today and it inspired my interest in art based on the human form. This experience has given me a unique understanding of the interaction between art and movement and the transformative effects that fashion/costume can have upon an individual. Dance has led me to design for new ballet productions all across the United States.

I am delving into new hobbies that I would love to continue exploring such as rug design, video creation, and my own entrepreneurial endeavors.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to say hello! The possibilities are endless and I can’t wait for the adventure ahead.
