My work comes from a place of constant sol/soul searching, joy, authenticity, a deep connection to the ocean and the desire to bring dreams to life…to create beautiful things & experiences to enhance people’s lives…to honor mother nature, culture & those that have walked before us & mindfully pave the way for the next generation.

With degrees in both Cultural Anthropology and Fashion Design & Merchandising, my approach to creativity is wholistic & experiential. My career spans the days of running around with paper patterns & rolls of fabric to cutters, sewers and wash houses in downtown LA, to burning the midnight oil sketching nearly every category of apparel & accessories for well loved surf & skate brands, to traveling the world in search of untold stories to weave into fresh new collections, to styling & creative directing photoshoots in the most beautiful locations, to leading a team of amazing designers and textile artists in joint effort to craft beautiful, seasonal product.

My approach to design & the creative process is first to listen, to seek & to understand the purpose, the heart center…the why. My love for the ocean, for riding sweet waves, for the magic of what happens when color and texture and pattern and story melt together to create a feeling, for something worn or simply experienced…these all influence my approach to design.

With over 25 years designing, creative directing, styling, storytelling and bringing visions to life, my journey continues…seeking new canvases to paint!
