A bit about me
From an early age Art, Design, and Fashion have been my life's greatest passions. Going from being that kid who got in trouble for doodling in class instead of taking notes, to a full-tIme creative professional has been the culmination of a lifetime's worth of hard work, determination, and endless dreaming. Since graduation Toronto Metropolitan University with a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design, I have devoted my career to the Canadian and Asian fashion industry, working domestically and internationally as a designer. In my personal life design and art continue to dominate my hobbies and interests, from restoring our 1920's home in the historic Toronto Junction neighbourhood with my contractor husband, countless trips to flea markets locally and abroad hunting for vintage treasures, or exploring the world's aesthetic hubs for constant inspiration. Design fuels my soul, and this is the passion that defines me as a creative professional and a woman.
