My goal is not only to design one of a kind garments but to create a magical experience that will empower the individual wearing them. For my capstone collection I took inspiration from the seven chakras, meditating on each one and documenting my experiences with journal entries. I compiled images and fabric swatches that would inspire the piece and made thumbnail sketches of my ideas. Next, I painted the Illustration of my final design with water color and created a technical flat drawing on my computer. Then I started patternmaking and prototyping, where all the problem solving happens. When my patterns are ready, I'm able to cut my final fabric and sew the garment. My brand philosophy is creating gender friendly and earth friendly fashion magic. I've developed a unisex size range describing clothes by fit instead of gender and I use fabrics that are gentle on the environment.
