I have harbored a lifelong passion for design. I earned my BFA in Accessories Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I was classically trained in handbag and SLG construction. While at SCAD, I also gained invaluable experience in overseas factory management and processes during my studies in Hong Kong and China.My professional journey commenced at UGG, where I was instrumental in designing and developing handbags and SLGs for both in-line and collaborative projects with renowned artists such as Claire Tabouret and Telfar.In 2021, I was appointed as the Creative Director for the automotive-influenced brand CURRUS. In just two years, I successfully established a full domestic supply chain while spearheading all aspects of collection design. I also solidified a brand partnership with the Petersen Automotive Museum.Currently, I lead the Accessories division for NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook's brand, HONOR THE GIFT.
