I have nurtured a lifelong passion for design, earning my BFA in Accessories Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). There, I received classical training in handbag, small leather goods (SLG) and footwear construction while gaining invaluable experience in overseas factory manageme
nt and production processes during my studies in Hong Kong and China.
My professional journey began at UGG, where I contributed to the design and development of handbags and SLGs for both in-line collections and collaborations with renowned artists, including Claire Tabouret and Telfar.
In 2021, I was named Creative Director of CURRUS, an automotive-inspired brand. Over two years, I established a fully domestic supply chain, oversaw all aspects of collection design, and secured a brand partnership with the Petersen Automotive Museum.
Currently, I lead the Accessories division at HONOR THE GIFT, the lifestyle brand founded by NBA All-Star Russell Westbrook.
