About THE DESIGNER

I am a 20 year old designer from Pennsylvania, who learned how to sew from my grandmother at a young age. When I was young, I used to put on fashion shows for my mom as my friends and I sashay-ed down the steps, and I announced look after look. Ever since, I have loved fashion and creating beautiful things for people to love and experience, however this passion of mine did not take off until the spring of 2020 where I began sewing more often and made my first brand "Ivy Dreams" which ended just as soon as it began.

​

Simultaneously, I was creating a club at my high school known as "Wilson Runway", which was a place for designers and creatives alike to come together and produce a specially curated fashion show each year. By our third year, and my senior year, we had over 100 members and dozens of looks to showcase to our community. While in Wilson Runway, I produced around 40 styled and fully designed looks, led 8 photoshoots, and managed three shows. I learned so many valuable lessons about creating, interacting with others, and sharing a vision with the world that will forever stay with me.

​

I have just graduated from my associates program at the Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in fashion design, which is something I've dreamed of since I was hosting my mini fashion shows in my living room.  I currently work at the Yocum Institute for Arts Education where I teach people of all ages the art of textiles. I look forward to where life takes me and to what my art will blossom into in the future.
