Currently based in the Bay Area, I am a textiles specialist who innovates knit and embroidery traditions with a curious eye and relentlessly experimental, meticulous approach. Influenced by a multi-disciplinary background (that encompasses literature, dance, and pastry arts), I realize new stories and moods through manipulating patterns beyond the edge of technical convention. Trained at Knit-1 in the UK and Paris' renowned École Lesage (awarded by the EPV label), I am versed in advanced knit techniques and certified as an "haute couture embroiderer" with 10,000+ hours of professional practice.

Through my 20+ years of knitting and thrifting, I’ve become interested in the cultural construct of embodied identity in clothing, the history of craftsmanship, fashion as a metaphor for capitalism (under Marxist theory), textile preservation, and the opportunity for creativity within sustainability practices and constraints.

Services I offer include custom knitwear, pattern/product development, consultation, repair, and embellishment.
