Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, I have spent my whole life surrounded by creative individuals. Learning to notice how art occurs in all sorts of places, no matter how abstract, has given me a deeper appreciation for everything around me. I have always loved painting as a creative outlet, but as I grew older, I found myself falling in love with the fashion industry. In 2023, I began studying fashion marketing at SCAD. Over time, I have developed a strong foundation in strategic marketing, retail merchandising, and innovative design. I am especially passionate about brand storytelling and creating work that shares a deeper story with others. Throughout my time at SCAD, I have also become interested in accessory design. Designing and handcrafting footwear has become an additional creative outlet for me, one where I can really be hands-on and produce functional pieces. Under the footwear tab above, I have included some of my work. When it comes to any of my work, I find it important to not only deliver my best work but also to be open to new ideas because they are what truly drive creativity.
