I was born and raised just outside of Kansas City, and recently graduated from the Pratt Institute of Art and Design with a major in fashion design, where I focused on developing textiles and building them into garments. I love knitting, weaving, dyeing, and any kind of fabric embellishment, and my work tends to have a nostalgic, comforting feel to it, both due to these slow, hands-on processes and my roots growing up in a small suburb in the Midwest.
