Concept to construction — pattern drafting, technical design, and product development for apparel that actually fits real bodies.
About
I'm a fashion designer, product developer, and technical educator with a B.F.A. in Fashion Product Development and over a decade of experience across custom design, brand development, and apparel production. My approach centers on fit, construction, and end-to-end product development — informed by years spent designing for curvy bodies that standard sizing too often leaves out.
Alongside my own design practice, I've developed and produced seasonal collections for small and emerging brands, released two capsule collections with Shein.com, and worked with overseas factories to bring garments into production. I bring that same industry perspective into the classroom as an adjunct professor at Chaffey College and Pasadena City College, where I teach pattern drafting, draping, technical design, and collection development.

Beyond the Work
Not every idea is built into a full collection — some stay exactly what they are: a concept, explored fully enough to know it works. Papillon Doré is a one-off brand and campaign concept, styled and AI-rendered to test a full creative direction — name, tagline, and lookbook — without committing it to production.
