Co-Authored a sewing book with a fellow student my final two years of undergrad. The book, My Style, My Place, is a project based how-to targeted towards young women between the ages of 20 - 30. The book breaks the mold of the stereotypical sewing book by adding a modern flare. The projects are a combination of redesigned, ready-to-wear garments and do-it-yourself home interior items. With random style tips, sewing hints and humorous stories, the book is a friendly approach at introducing a dying art to an untapped market.
