My work often involves landscape, interacts with the environment, and serves to facilitate a relationship with the natural world around us. I think a lot about cultural and interpersonal identity, and the way that textiles inform the way we navigate our lives. Functionality and practicality are at the core of my practice, as well as being conscious about the materials I use, and sourcing sustainably when possible (old discarded sails for example, in my recent tent jacket).
My primary focus is apparel design, and I have a never-ending love for pockets.
I also enjoy biking and bodyboarding in my free time ︎.
