About
I learned to sew from my grandmother, who could alter anything in a single afternoon. Fashion school taught me to design; she taught me to respect the fabric.
I'm interested in clothes that last and materials that have already had a life. My process starts with what I can find, not what I can buy.
I sell bags at weekend markets, swim on Wednesdays, and have strong opinions about pockets.
