I am an Oakland-based textile artist who innovates knit and embroidery traditions with a curious eye and relentlessly experimental, meticulous approach. Influenced by a multi-disciplinary background (that encompasses literature, ballet and pastry arts), I realize new stories and moods through manipulating patterns to the edge of technical convention. Trained at Knit-1 in the UK and Paris' Chanel-owned, École Lesage, I am versed in advanced knit techniques and certified as an "haute couture embroiderer" with 10,000+ hours of professional practice.

I offer custom knitwear, pattern/product development, consultation, and embellishment services.

Commissions include: SF's Treasure Island Music Festival (Noisepop), Wool and the Gang (WATG), Rebecca Taylor, Purl Soho, Fred Boyd, Degen/Echo New York, Nordstrom, Vogue Knitting, Malabrigo, NORO, Knit Simple, Zealana, Liz Collins.

Machine: Brother KH-881 Standard Gauge, Brother KH-860 Bulk

Hand: Knitting, embroidery (Lunéville hook and needle), beading, crochet, macramé, sewing
