ABOUT THE DESIGNERi would not define myself as having i would not define myself as having one particular aesthetic. my work
spans multiple styles of apparel and draws inspiration from many different sources, but one thing that all of my
pieces share is an indulgence in extremes. i am drawn to exaggerated extremes. i am drawn to exaggerated
designs because they produce exaggerated reactions. i enjoy the
unusual and the unexpected. i believe unusual and the unexpected. i believe that tension and discomfort are the
most intense feelings that art can provoke in the viewer, and therefore
the most interesting. i strive to capture those feelings in my work.
