About Me
I love playing around with different prints and textures, while also developing my own stitches and incorporating technology into my garments. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning from the University of Cincinnati. I am currently seeking full time employment. When I’m not designing I enjoy traveling, staying active, and eating healthy. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends.

Vintage Shopping Inspirations Trims and Details
After vintage shopping to local vintage shops around the area (i.e..... Casablanca Vintage) I was able to gain inspiration to incorporate the heritage of the Hollister Co. brand into my collection.
Color and Print/Pattern
The color story is inspired by the balancing of neutral colors, that Hollister Co. likes to carry throughout their stores as well as the mood of the West Coast (SoCal) lifestyle and casual environment. The prints that were designed were created to bring that balance of saturated bright color to each look and were inspired by my research and my mood board.

Brass Zipper Beige Chainette Fringe Copper Metal Button Metal Hook and Eye Clasp 100% POLYESTER 100% RAYON 100% METAL 100% METAL The techniques of patchwork and acid wash distressed denim as well as the trims and details were chosen to bring in that authentic vintage look and once again the heritage of Hollister Co.
