Ideaology Statement
Garment construction and design are natural extensions of my passion for vintage clothing, sustainability, functionality, and the outdoors. These interests are deeply woven into my design process, where I prioritize aesthetics, storytelling, and the beauty of time, age, and simplicity. I view clothing as a tool that connects us to the past, present, and future.
I believe that sustainable, adventurous designs—rooted in ingenuity and adaptability—are key to the future of fashion. As environmental movements push for the reuse of materials, I see great opportunity in giving vintage fabrics and designs new life. These often serve as my primary inspiration, sparking a desire to infuse character and intentional craftsmanship into every design, material, and silhouette.
As a visual thinker, I approach brainstorming organically, letting ideas flow naturally before refining them through market research. I crave collaborative environments and thrive where cross-collaboration and idea exchange fuel creativity and empathy. The energy of working with a team not only allows me to bounce ideas off others, streamlining the design process, but lends to captivation and full absorption of the self into product creation. I strive to blend my personal style—vintage-inspired, functional clothing—with forward-thinking design solutions. The abundance of durable, high-quality materials in the world today offers a rich resource for creating timeless pieces. I’m committed to helping the industry embrace this sustainable future.
