Years of experience in business, entrepreneurship,

leadership, and creative problem-solving have influenced my approach to design—combining strategic thinking with artistic expression and an unwavering commitment to quality.  Through it all, the dream of creating timeless fashion never left me.

Determined to transform that dream into reality, I returned to college to study Fashion Design at American River College. There I immersed myself in patternmaking, apparel construction, draping, fashion illustration, textiles, and design development while completing an internship with the ARC Design Hub, collaborating with fellow designers from concept through finished garment.

My educational journey reflects a lifelong commitment to learning.  Along with my fashion studies, I hold an MBA degree with an emphasis in Marketing, a BA degree with an emphasis in Business, an AA Degree with an emphasis in the Arts, and professional credentials as a California Licensed Real Estate Broker, Certified Transaction Coordinator, Certified Property Manager and Bankruptcy Paralegal.

Every chapter of my journey has contributed to the designer I am today. From business and entrepreneurship to fashion education and creative collaboration, each experience has shaped my philosophy of designing with intention, pursuing excellence, and creating garments that reflect timeless elegance.
