With 17 years of experience in custom dressmaking and fine tailoring, my work is shaped by a foundation of classical training and years of hands-on craft. After fashion design school, I studied at the Paris Fashion Institute before apprenticing under master tailors in New York City, where I honed my skill in precise construction, impeccable fit, and the joy of delicate details.

What began in the corner of a Brooklyn apartment has evolved into an atelier practice rooted in care, intuition, and craftsmanship. My aesthetic leans timeless—drawing from vintage couture, surface design, and the comfort of natural fabrics—while every piece is shaped in response to the individual. I believe clothing should be an extension of the wearer: thoughtful, personal, and original. I approach each new piece as an opportunity to further my craft, and every new client as a lovely new friend.

My studio has moved from a brick & mortar in NYC to Austin and then Omaha where I am now based. I work with clients both virtually and locally alike.

When I’m not making dresses, I’m usually chasing tiny feet through the garden or steeping a cup of tea I’ll forget to finish. I have four young children, a love for old movies, and an eye for vintage treasures—but truthfully, I’m almost always working. Crafting gowns is my quiet devotion, stitched between the beautiful chaos of daily life.
