Here’s a glimpse into my creative wonderland, where every design tells a unique story, capturing my creative vision and heartfelt craftsmanship.

Every dream begins with a spark of inspiration. With an open heart, I am thrilled to introduce my debut collection, ‘Growing Pains.’ As a fashion student on a journey to turn my lifelong dreams into reality, this collection is deeply personal and rooted in my love for coming-of-age films.

‘Growing Pains’ is my tribute to the complex emotions of adolescence and the bittersweet journey of girlhood. Through each piece, I’ve sought to capture the nostalgia, innocence, and awakening that define this transformative period.

I owe a special thanks to kirsten “kiwi” smith (writer, ‘10 things I hate about you’, ‘legally blonde’, the house bunny’) and larisa oleynik(actress: ‘10 things i hate about you’, ‘the babysitter’s club’), whose creative brilliance and support have been instrumental in bringing this vision to life. Having the incredible honor of meeting them ignited the inspiration for this collection, making it a true labor of love.

‘i don’t see any grownups around here’: senior capstone

‘I Don’t See Any Grownups Around here.’ is a love letter to my inner child. While working on this collection, I found a drawing I made as a little girl of myself as a fashion designer creating a colorful early-2000s candy gown. Finding that drawing reminded me of the imagination and excitement I had as a child, and inspired me to dedicate this collection to the little girl who dreamt it first. Inspired by the early 2000s I grew up in. playing dress up before bed, mismatched outfits , shopping at Justice, Claire’s, Disney Channel, toy websites, sequins, and the fantasy living inside a little girl’s heart. the collection explores fashion through play, creativity, and self-expression. Through playful silhouettes, quilted fabrics, appliqués, and doll-like details, the garments recreate the feeling of dressing without rules and finding joy in being as over-the-top as possible. At its core, the collection asks: why can’t we dress as fun as we did back then?
