While in college, I interned for both Anna Sui and BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP. After college, I immediately was hired to assist key stylists working with clients such as Matt Damon, Lisa Marie Presley, and Elijah Wood. I went on to work as a production assistant for P!nk, Rihanna, and Cher and last year toured Europe on will.i.am's "#willpower" tour working with the wardrobe team. After working as a stylist and designing custom pieces for different projects, I realize that my true talent lies in creating pieces rather than styling, designing ethereal-like womenswear with an emphasis on using fine silks and embellishments. I am currently seeking a full-time position in the fashion design field, either in New York or Los Angeles. Below are awards and notable achievements throughout the years:
Awards:
Recipient of Neiman Marcus "Most Salable Collection" Award (2011)
First Place Winner of Butler Bag Concept and Production Project (2008)
Second Place Winner of Push Pin Exhibit (2007)
Notable Achievements:
Semi-finalist for NBC's "Fashion Star" (2013)
Featured fashion designer in "Emerging Fashion Designers 3" hardcover (2012)
Featured Designer, WGSN (2010)
Study abroad program in Shanghai, China for fashion apparel production and manufacturing (2009)
