Meet the Designer
At a young age, I recall searching through my grandmother’s closet and being inspired by her vintage cocktail dresses and ornate perfume bottles. This experience would later inspire me to design evening gowns. My designs are often informed by my passion for art history, drawing inspiration from the great painters of the Baroque period. I find beauty in nature and often incorporate botanical themes into my work. I focus extensively on couture details, often intensively repeating these intricate, small details into mesmerizing and impactful patterns.
