As a Freelance Designer across both sides of the company, I had the opportunity to offer a unique perspective to the design teams.

I was also responsible for overseeing all design categories for the AE International Womens markets.

ONE OF SIX
For my first collection, I was inspired by two things: the movement of this enormous magazine and paper sculpture by artist Yun Woo Choi and the ancient Samurai armor. The sheer size of this paper sculpture seemingly suspended through air reminded me of the precision, execution, and durability of the armor.
