Hi there!
Thank you for checking out my work.
I’m an apparel designer and digital illustrator based in Brooklyn, NY. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design at Pratt Institute in 2016. Since graduating, I made a leap into fashion and worked on design teams at Under Armour, Theory, Coach, and Calvin Klein. I’m currently designing Boy’s Activewear at Adjmi Apparel Group for Walmart’s private label, Athletic Works.
Open to collabs, commissions, and conversations!
