WHAT WE CARRY
A developing study of how identity is received, reinterpreted, and reconstructed through heirloom craft and cultural memory.
WHERE IT'S GOING
This work is a step toward building a larger design practice where collections function as both exploration and foundation.
Over time, it will support the development of a more structured creative ecosystem, focused on design, collaboration, and craft.
WHAT I'M BUILDING
This upcoming collection explores how identity and heritage can be expressed through construction, textile, and craft-centered garment design.
It represents an early stage in a larger portfolio practice focused on elevated, collection-driven fashion work.
