ABOUT ME
Hey!
I am a Pittsburgh native living in New York City for the last ten years. She’s always had a love for fashion and style and started off as her paternal grandmother’s sewing assistant. I received my Associate degree from CCAC and transferred to finish my education at Savannah College of Art & Design receiving my BFA in Fashion Design in 2013. My senior thesis work was featured in the graduate fashion show that year. Since then, I have moved to New York to pursue my dreams of design. I have worked in multiple categories becoming a lead designer working in the Denim and Woven’s Categories for companies such as Burlington, TJ Maxx, Ashley Stewart, and Christopher & Banks. I then expanded my area of expertise into Outerwear designing for Kendall + Kylie and Kensie, carried at multiple retailers. Most recently I freelanced as the lead designer for all international women’s woven dresses and soft categories for American Eagle.
I am a designer, stylist, digital creator, woman of God and creator of Live unLeeshed - a blog dedicated to the exploration of fashion & faith. My mission is to empower & equip women to show up for themselves by reimagine their wardrobe, one piece at a time. Take up space and “Wear Your Things!”. Freedom looks good on you!
