"I’m a very experience fashion and accessories designer and product developer. I’ve worked in New York City and globally. I was an award-winning faculty member at FIDM in Los Angeles for 20 years. I love to teach and see my students' moment of discovery!

I have the experience and ability to make complex subjects easier to learn and excel in. I have taught men’s and women’s design & merchandising, fashion business, flat sketching, technical design, pattern making & draping, fitting, textile design, dye techniques, textile science, fabric identification, sewing & construction including hand techniques. I am also a knitwear expert and construction expert.

Currently I am designing active dancewear made from a vegetable “cashmere” made from soy waste. I look forward to helping you excel in your fashion journey!" less...
