"Smoke" blends beading techniques with knitted textures, capturing the essence of transformation. The collection subtly dances between light and shadow, reflecting the gentle shifts we encounter in life.
At its core, "Smoke" celebrates boldness and volume. The exaggerated silhouettes create a dynamic contrast between the assertive and the delicate, redefining feminine expression. Each piece makes a bold statement of individuality.
The interplay of materials narrates a story of evolution, where textures transition in unexpected, alluring ways. The collection captures a moment suspended between states, delicately balanced in transition.
Rooted in the principles of simplicity, timelessness, and self-expression, my take on the “Boss Babe” theme embraces minimalistic design with a polished and refined aesthetic. It caters to the needs of the intuitive and creative businesswoman in a dynamic, fast-paced creative industry.
Ready-to-Wear Fall Spring 2023
This collection aims to express the beauty that lies in the balance of juxtaposing ideas. Empowering women to embrace their differences, as that is what creates true beauty.
Inspired by my experiences as a queer, interracial person growing up in the south and how such intersectionality affected society's views of me. Take what you please, reject what you don’t, as a society rooted in exclusivity, they take so much of ourseleves away leaving us with who they want us to be, removing any shred of uniqueness or identity to call our own.
Designs in the collection offer a blend of traditional and subtle textured fabrics, combined into silhouettes that highlight the feminine figure through contouring, and controlled drape.

In an era when the hum of technology whispers promises of a new dawn and the cosmos beckon with the allure of the unknown; the "Eclipse" collection emerges. Inspired by the imaginative musings of a 1960s-70s office worker, this collection bridges the nostalgia of the past with the infinite possibilities of the future.
Paying homage to the space age, a period marked by groundbreaking discoveries and a fervent belief in progress, this collection reflects the aesthetics of office life from that era. It reimagines classic 1960s and 1970s office wear through a futuristic lens, blending the sharp, confident lines of modern suiting with the experimental textures and silhouettes inspired by a time when humanity reached for the stars.

Inspired by the tranquil charm and effortless sophistication of the Mediterranean, "Elysium" Spring / Summer 2025 collection captures the essence of coastal living with a modern twist. This collection seamlessly blends the timeless allure of sun-drenched shores with contemporary fashion sensibilities, creating a line that is both fresh and evocative.
At the heart of this collection are lightweight suiting fabrics in serene blue and white stripes, evoking the endless skies and shimmering seas of the Mediterranean coast. These are paired with crisp white georgette, reminiscent of the light, airy feel of a summer breeze. The color palette is a harmonious blend of blues and whites, reflecting the purity and tranquility of the region.
The concept for my look, inspired by the three Shein X collections I researched, was to incorporate standout design elements as the initial inspiration. I focus on blending the casual and elegant aesthetics prevalent in each collection, while maintaining the use of proportion, balance, and harmony observed throughout.
I created a versatile detachable blouse-skirt-mini dress that can be worn as a single garment or styled separately with a dressy cigarette pant. By drawing on the proportional aspects of the collections, I added volume to the silhouette with Juliette sleeves featuring elongated cuffs, an enlarged collar, and balloon hem gathers on the skirt. Symmetry, a common thread in each collection, is echoed in both garments through symmetric drapery, cutouts, and color-blocking.
To align with the contemporary market and the researched collections, I used lightweight cotton shirting fabric, non-stretch satin, and medium-weight twill for contrast. The collections predominantly featured neutral color palettes, with the exception of the "Momo-Ki" collection. Thus, I chose a neutral palette of oats, copper, cream, and cashew to enhance the light and neutral aesthetics seen in each collection.

Express Design & Product Development Case Study
Express’s mission to “inspire self-expression” and “create confidence,” coupled with its recent growth, made it an ideal brand to expand into athleisure. Since Express has not yet ventured into this market, its entry could offer a fresh perspective by blending traditional activewear with the formal aesthetics the brand is known for. Sustainability and garment quality are significant gaps in the current market, presenting an opportunity for Express to fill. This case study explores the impact of sustainability, garment quality, and customization on the athleisure market, and how Express can contribute its unique aesthetic and ethics to this $113.4 billion industry.
This collection is inspired by the rugged lifestyle of the old west, blended with a modern interpretation of the 1980s, business woman. A modern cowboy vibe mixed with 1980s romance and confidence at its core, an unlikely combination expressed through rich taupes, grayish-browns, and reds.

Shedding Angels recognizes, and celebrates the dichotomy between one who carries rich life experience, and one who truly hasn't lived. We looked to bring a sharp twist on the traditional ideas of agism and connection, all at the hands of deception.
