Talent, authenticity, and personality are words used to describe my rising fashion talent. Educated at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and Florence, Italy’s Polimoda, its clear that I'm motivated to experiment with classic cuts in innovative high-tech fabrics and dabble in aspects of the fashion world other designers would have hesitation with. As a result, I'm infamously known for a “more is better” aesthetic.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to show my work to the world and rise to success as runner-up of the Emmy-nominated ninth season of Project Runway and final four of Project Runway All-stars 2, my flawless passion for all things that shine is unrivaled!

I continue to focus on my signature menswear and women’s wear collections, while collaborating on a capsule collection of dresses and gowns with Johnathan Kayne that is entirely suited for red carpet, galas, and the best pageants worldwide. Through bedazzling my brand, I hope my work helps to inspire others to follow their dreams and never give up!
