This deeply personal project is my Pratt Institute 2013 Senior Thesis. My 7 look collection is titled "Big Medicine," in reference to my own journeys with Ayahuasca, the ancient, big medicine of spiritual reawakening.

This collection was made of 95% cotton for the Supema Challenge, in which I manipulated cotton fabrics to achieve desired effects. This collection was influenced by textile manipulation and worked in collaboration with painter Alex Grey.

More Information

My craftsmanship has been seen at the Metropolitan Museum, Burning Man, on Lady GaGa,
at Alex Grey's Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, and on Broadway.

I am passionate for the future of wearable art, incorporating fashion, technology, and conceptual design.

I am also the co-founder of a sustainable wearable tech start up, called DeadWood NYC, with my partner in life and crime, architect Oliver Allaux. Our purpose is to reinstate a connection with our natural world while thriving in a machine driven one, utilizing cutting edge technology to produce conceptual biodegradable garments.

We feel that by rethinking something as fundamental as clothing, we can spark global change in environmental awareness.
