Natural Dye Process - Textiles
Experiments With Red
A group project where we each experimented with different natural dyes. Myspecific three goals were: 1. to achieve a particular red on silk/hemp blendfabric using natural dyes; 2. to make a garment of the undyed fabric; and3. to dye the garment with an ombré technique. The process of dyeing was soextensive and the results so far from the original idea, to dye the garmentproved to be too far out of reach within the time frame (the un-dyed garmentis shown at the end of this series). The dyeing process was an invaluablelearning experience which required extensive research and discussion with alocal master dyer, who also procures environmentally friendly silk and silk blendfabrics.

Sustainable Fabric Line - Apparel
Natural Defense
It was important with this line to embrace the neutral colorsof the natural fibers - almost exclusively hemp/silk blends, plus 100% silkfabrics - and play up the colors and textures with lots of style lines,transparency, and the use of raw edges and selvages. Fabric piecework andmetal works of armor were very influential.

1970’s Re-do - Apparel
A Simpler Time
The menswear look of Annie Hall was the primary inspiration, perhapsespecially the hat. During the 1970’s our society felt nostalgia for the 1930’s, which extended to ‘70’s fashions.

Technical Sketching - Apparel
Snowboarding Jumpsuit
This garment was designed in a group, then each group member interpretedthe design separately. We worked towards achieving as much practicality and protection as possible in the one-piece design, and in the position of the pockets.

Apparel Graphic - Dragon Boat Jersey
Komochin Dragons
Jersey graphic designed for my previous employer’s Dragon Boat teamfor the Portland Rose Festival Dragon Boat Races. Colleagues who chose the finaldesign felt strongly it was necessary to use a dragon in the design; I also wanted toexplore images that reflected the commitment of the people to the team effort.
While designing the graphic it was not known which ink colors or jersey colorswould be available. I advised it would be best to use only two ink colors, black plusan accent color, letting the jersey be the third color. The accent color could thenbe swapped out for any other, depending on the final jersey color that becameavailable.
