Heirloom Artisan & Couturier
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. I studied fashion and couture technique in Paris before apprenticing under master tailors in New York City, where I honed my skill in precise construction, impeccable fit, and the quiet power of detail.
What began in the corner of a Brooklyn apartment has evolved into an atelier practice rooted in care, intuition, and soul. My aesthetic leans timeless—drawing from vintage couture, surface design, and the artistry 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 never rushed.
This is an intentional practice, not just in design, but in service—one that embraces change, holds space for transformation, and crafts heirlooms to carry meaning.
As a bridal designer, I meet so many women who’ve spent hours in boutiques, trying on gown after gown—each one almost perfect, but never quite right. They come to me not because they haven’t found a beautiful dress, but because they haven’t found their dress.
That’s where the magic of custom design begins.
When you choose to have your gown custom made, you’re not just selecting fabric and lace—you’re crafting a piece that tells your story. Every silhouette, every detail, is chosen with intention. We’ll collaborate closely, bringing your vision to life in a way that flatters your body, honors your style, and celebrates your individuality.
This isn’t about squeezing into someone else’s idea of ‘bridal.’ It’s about designing with you at the center—uncompromised, unmistakably yours. Crafted to reflect who you are, not who you’re expected to be.
If you’re ready for a dress that feels like it was made for you—because it was—I’d love to help you bring it to life.

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.
When you commission a piece here, you’re not just purchasing a garment—you’re gaining a companion in the process. I hold space for change, re-calibrate with care, and meet you where you are, without ever compromising the integrity of the design—or your sense of self.
Custom work is rarely a straight line—and that’s part of the beauty. I’m here not just to create, but to guide, to listen, and to evolve the vision as needed. When your feelings shift, I adjust without judgment. This is a partnership, not a transaction.
