work and experience

As an Associate Designer at Boot Barn, I worked alongside many talented designers developing Sportswear and Denim lines for American western lifestyle brands, including celebrity lines by Miranda Lambert and Brad Paisley, as well as for the Cody Core and Cody James brands.

I have enjoyed designing for lifestyle-based brands, such as NYDJ, a brand that embraces all body types and shapes for women, focusing on a critical element of fashion for women: Fit. 

While at True Religion in Los Angeles, I spent time in the wash and sewing houses and worked closely with pattern-makers and production teams. I assisted in the design and development for internal lines and wholesale accounts, all deepening my experience in the world of denim.

Below I have encapsulated my work within the industry including my personal conceptual line. My design aesthetic is all about encouraging individuals to look and feel confident in expressing their culture and lifestyle through apparel.
