natural dye
natural dyed
I work with dyes derived from plants, insects, and minerals. I transform the subtlety, nuance, and spectrum of color found in nature into wearable objects of self-expression.
hand printed
My prints combine natural imagery with pattern and play. Unlike with machine printed textiles, you can see the hand in the process through slight variations that add character.
home sewn
My handmade accessories are slow fashion, baby! I sew all of my own products, which allows me the freedom and flexibility to experiment with new designs and patterns.
