I am a designer and maker with a background in industrial design and a lifelong passion for clothing. I graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Industrial Design, where I focused on soft goods and user-centered design. Growing up, I was constantly drawing outfits, making clothes for dolls, and finding creative ways to express myself through fashion. Those early interests eventually led me to pursue both product design and garment creation.

During my time at KU, I worked on projects ranging from a multifunctional garment collection to a protective lacrosse glove and a portable oxygen concentrator. These projects strengthened my skills in research, prototyping, and designing products that balance function, usability, and aesthetics.

While interning at The Hillman Group, I collaborated with designers on product form and aesthetics, participated in research for new product initiatives, and gained experience working within a multidisciplinary design team. During my internship, I also had the opportunity to contribute to concept development for a Wrangler work-wear glove line.

Today, through my brand I design and create original garments, custom commissions, and upcycled pieces. What began as selling vintage clothing and reworked garments quickly grew into participating in pop-up markets, collaborating with fellow creatives, and taking on freelance design projects, including custom clothing tags for friends. Now, I am working to build my brand through my Aetherwear multifunctional collection and sustain commissions. As my work continues to evolve, I am excited to keep exploring new ideas, creating meaningful pieces, and seeing where the next chapter takes me.
