My practice is centered around the study of antique garments, understanding their complex histories, and bringing them to life.

Each project starts with primary research and material explorations to better understand the inner lives of these garments and the people that wore them.

Through the history of dress, I aim to uncover hidden construction methods, interpret historical drafting techniques, and create ready-made patterns based on my discoveries to share with the world.
