Bio:

I am a designer and artist currently living and working in New York City with a communal studio/gallery space in Brooklyn. I am a recent recipient of a Franklin Furnace Grant, a project grant from Possible Futures in Atlanta GA, and a residency in Portland ME. I value design and craft and much of my practice is based around sewing, be it garments, sculptures, or wearable art pieces. I have several years experience working in the costume and fashion industry and therefore my work has become primarily wearable and interactive sculpture. I believe that fashion is a veritable manifestation of art and life colliding and this of utmost interest to me. A lot of my work circulates around the act of eliciting communal awareness through this channel.
