Fashion Design    Illustration     Technical Design    Consulting

Hello and Welcome!

I am a Fashion Designer and Illustrator with over 14 years experience in the fashion industry designing for Women's Contemporary, Junior, Swimwear, Intimates, Sleepwear, Costume, and Activewear companies.   

Growing up in rural Montana, I started cultivating my design skills as a young girl, drawing designs and sewing clothes for my dolls and playing dress up.  It wasn't until after high school that I decided to leave everything to follow my dream to pursue an education in Fashion Design.  I moved to Los Angeles to attend the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, despite never visiting Los Angeles or knowing a single person.  Over 14 years later, the LA area will always feel like home! 

I am known for my precise rendering of technical and stylized flats, illustrations and graphics by hand or computer.  I am incredibly versatile and able to lead the design process from initial concept to final production and have been blessed to work for a number of well known companies and fashion lines.  

 I always welcome new freelance clients or full time employment opportunities.  I am available to work in a team environment or by telecommuting.

Please browse through the examples of my work.  If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me!
