I am an Assistant Accessories Designer at J.Crew and a recent graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a degree in Fashion Design and Fashion Marketing and Management. My contributions to J.Crew can be seen in the leather hangbags and footwear of the Fall '16 Collection presentation. I am passionate about creating designs that are chic, innovative, and well-made. My designs have been carried at Harper Boutique in Savannah, GA, featured in the Savannah Fashion Week runway show, published in Remark magazine, and landed me a position as a finalist in the Night of Spectacles charity fashion design competition in Atlanta, GA two years in a row.

 

Prior to my position at J.Crew, I have gained a lot of experience in fashion design, visual merchandising, teamwork, trend research, sewing, sketching, and styling through sales associate positions at Nordstrom and Red Clover Boutique, and fashion design internships at Nanette Lepore, Elie Tahari, Mamie Ruth, and Anna Sui. I furthered my understanding of garment construction and technical design as an alterations seamstress for weekly customers all throughout my schooling. To learn more about what goes on behind the scenes of the marketing side of the fashion industry, I have interned multiple times for New York Fashion Week setting up and working backstage for runway shows including those for Anna Sui, Nanette Lepore, Sophie Theallet, and Narciso Rodriguez, and worked as a fashion PR intern at PR Consulting in Soho.
