For me, clothes are about connection. It's about living honestly and telling a story based on who I am, where I'm from, and what I love. I grew up in a small, military town in North Carolina. My work is a process of discovering fullness in everyday life and an attempt to create products that are simple, useful and lasting. Every garment is designed and made in my studio. There's a joy I find in the process of making things, and I strive to instill that sense of purpose and excitement in everything I create.
