Funny Things On Swings
Children’s Wear Collection
Prompted to create a collection and draw inspiration from within, I chose to explore the memory of my childhood through a game. Played on two swing sets by my siblings and childhood neighbors, Funny Things On Swings explores the simple joys, carefree spirit, and vivid imagination of a child.

Shame
Ready-To-Wear Collection
Stemming from sexism and stereotypes of superficiality and vanity, a career in fashion is often accompanied with being made to feel inferior or ashamed. This shame is holding back the potential of the fashion industry, especially regarding sustainability. The theme of shame is translated into this collection through looks, shapes, and features . Instead of glorifying superficiality, the highest profit, and the cheapest clothes, we must channel that energy into acting on our industry’s faults.

Converge
Ready-To-Wear Collection
Converge explores the intersection of architecture and fashion through the identity and functionality of a piece, within the concept of the old merging with the new. Inspired by the architectural practice of urban infill, new developments created within an already existing community, old converges with new through 19th century womenswear and modern, contemporary tailored looks, shapes, and features.
