Hi!
From designing a swimwear line in fourth grade, to working in corporate fast fashion, to being on Project Runway, my life has always been about fashion.
I began my career studying fashion design at George Brown College in my adopted city of Toronto. During my time in school, I apprenticed at established labels and textile agencies where I learned, first-hand, the business side of fashion. Following graduation, I started work as a product developer, buyer and designer until 2010, when I applied my skills, savvy and passion to the creation of my own successful label. The signature of my collections became my vibrant geometric and conversational prints, and I have now been focusing on print and illustration collaborations and commissions.
I have done collaborations with such companies as Wildfang, Sage Aubrey and The Hoxton Hotel, and have done work for Microsoft, Acer, Wacom and numerous podcasts, blogs and independent designers. I am always on the lookout to work with other brands and designers, as I find adding my signature flare to pieces from brands I admire to be the best part of my job.
In 2018, I took home both a PFSA for Best Womens Fashion Designer, as well as a GRAY Award for design. Me and my work have been featured in Hello! Magazine, The Huffington Post, Fashion Magazine, British Vogue, The Portland Mercury, Portland Monthly, GRAY, The Globe and Mail and Marie Claire, and on Project Runway.
