I came from a lineage of German seamstress dating back to my great grandmother. My first experience with fabric, design and fashion began at age 8 making clothes for my various sized dolls.  I have been handcrafting ever since.

As a clothing and accessory designer, I pride myself as an artist whose work is distinguished by my engineering and innovative design.  An extensive background working as a Theater Costumer and years of custom fabrication ensures that my designs not only “look” great but are constructed with a technician’s sensibility. Adjustable fit and durability added to classic design ensure that my pieces become cherished wardrobe staples for years to come.

My goal is to provide my clients a means for self-expression to show (or hide) oneself to the outside world. I love to provide people with the touch and feel of just the right accessory or garment,  My years as an educator have helped sharpen my intuition: my passion is connecting a client with just the right look.

As a milliner I like to say, ‘”The hat can’t speak for itself, the wearer must possess it.”
