Fashion designer, leatherworker & stylist based in Columbus, Ohio.

My work captures a subversive, transgressive form of elegance that embraces all aspects of the wearer’s being in equal measure. Though I focus on couture and traditional tailoring techniques, I’m also passionate about both leatherwork and metalwork, and in 2019, founded the luxury leather accessory brand Mater Dolorosa. The techniques I’ve developed as part of that brand are often the hallmarks of my designs, from intricate molded leather pieces to custom metal garment closures. And that attention to both detail and authentic-to-the-wearer elegance is critical to my work as a personal, editorial and commercial stylist as well.

I’m a graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design (Fashion Design, Jewelry Design) and the recipient of the 2023 Easton Fashion Award for Outstanding Senior in Fashion Design.

Please reach out. I’d love to hear from you.
