Fashion Creative Lead &
Product Development
Born and raised in Los Angeles, I’ve always been surrounded by style, sound, and stories. Fashion wasn’t just something I wore—it was something I wanted to shape.
For over a decade, I’ve been deep in the world of men’s underwear and sportswear, building products that are meant to be felt, moved in, and noticed. Outside of that, I’ve created custom looks for shoots, explored fabric like a second language, and let instinct guide design. My work is where structure meets impulse and where every stitch has something to say.
Still in LA. Still learning. Always creating.
