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.
