I am a highly driven & creative Menswear Designer hailing from Cleveland, Ohio. My passion for underground music, art, history, and counterculture, pushes me to create unique designs which transcend the boundaries of mainstream menswear.

In May of 2021, I graduated from The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City with an Associates of Applied Science degree in Menswear Design. In my tenure at FIT, I received extensive instruction and superior technical skills training from industry pioneers in the discipline of menswear design. The knowledge and mentorship I gained from these artists, designers, and master tailors spans from garment design, pattern making, construction and advanced tailoring, to visual presentation, textile fabrication, and computer aided technical design.

Seeking inspiration in avant-garde menswear, I was granted an internship as an Assistant Menswear Designer at Willy Chavarria. I received hands-on training alongside the driving forces of the brand, and played a key role in the process of conceptualizing, creating, and distributing cutting-edge clothing to the luxury market. My graphic design skills were valued in developing flats, technical packages, line sheets, and enhancing the brands website elements. I also collaborated closely with the creative director on photo shoots, look books, and collection development.

I also have internship experience as an assistant to the Menswear Design Team at Nautica USA, Inc. Working under the menswear design director and a variety of designers spanning all categories, I specialized in creating technical packages and building the bill of materials, for all kinds of garments. I very much excelled in supporting the garment and set room production team, by actively contributing to the creative direction, textile design, and sampling aspects of the Nautica menswear brand.

Beyond my academic and professional accomplishments, I possess strong digital skills, particularly in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I am a certified Photoshop Associate and have experience working with PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) systems.

As a dedicated and passionate designer, I constantly strive to push boundaries and create innovative and visually striking luxury menswear. My blend of creativity, technical expertise, and industry knowledge drives me to excel in the world of menswear design.
