As a designer from the mid-west, I firmly believe that fashion should meet both aesthetic and
functional requirements. Historically, this has been a core subject in design theory and practice. I
prefer to bring this language to the fashion world. A sort of \'Everything serves a purpose,\' mentality. My style is a balance of comfortable everyday with luxe quality. I want people who wear my clothing to feel it suits them in a cozy, recognizable way. I love the intimacy people share with their wardrobe. It allows for blending practical life with desirable style. Music and film constantly impact my designs as well. I find a certain comfort when something sounds right or looks beautiful—it\'s influence is personal.
Many people are entertained by the glamorous side of fashion and opulent dress,
but it\'s my belief that combining quality with everyday is the most intriguing.
