I am passionate about inspiring others to rethink their relationship with clothing through hands-on workshops, classes, and carefully curated products. My goal is to empower individuals to make conscious, thoughtful choices that reflect their values and redefine their approach to fashion. At the heart of my work is a belief: when we change how we buy and care for our clothing, we change how we value it—and ourselves. This ethos drives every product I offer and every class I teach, fostering creativity, empowerment, and a sustainable approach to style.

I write all the content for Comfortable Wardrobe. The blog is an ongoing collection of my stories, memories, and most importantly, my wardrobe. I follow my favorite designers, who I feel are artists in their own right, as well as write about my visits to fashion exhibits around the world. All of this comes together in my sewing projects, which I will share more about as they take shape.
