I am a Detroit-based artist who creates one-of-a-kind handmade gowns. My artistic vision is to find a balance between elegant silhouettes and meticulous detail, celebrating both sculptural form and delicate texture. My designs are visual narratives, with ideas often sparked by the intricate beauty of bridal traditions and the celebration of love. Through the careful manipulation of fabrics, I transform raw materials into beautiful garments, allowing my authentic artistic voice to emerge. My profound love for textiles and the art of sewing is evident in every stitch. My process, which emphasizes a "slow, intentional process" and the visible presence of "every stitch," is a conceptual rejection of mass production, highlighting the importance of time, care, and human touch in creation. A deep gratitude for my materials and the generational wisdom of textile arts inspires my work.
My work creates timeless pieces that challenge the fast-paced trends of contemporary fashion. I have had the opportunity to showcase my designs on runways and collaborate with brides to design their dreamwedding dresses. Beyond creating my own designs, I love sharing my skills with others. I teach virtual sewing classes that offer comprehensive instruction in couture garment creation for all skill levels. I also host synchronized sewing sessions where a community of makers joins online to sew in real time. This collaborative format lets us share tips, celebrate progress, and inspire each other. I invite you to join me in these creative sessions where every stitch tells a story of inspiration, passion, and purpose.
