I am a self-taught multidisciplinary artist and eco-fashion designer working across fiber and textile art, wearable forms, biophilic and conceptual design, and public art. My practice is rooted in transformation, resourcefulness, and a deep relationship with the natural world. I work primarily with pre-existing textiles, plant fibers, foraged wood, and found objects, using weaving, stitching, knotting, braiding, binding, and reconstruction to give overlooked resources new purpose. Folk and diasporic influences, handcraft traditions, organic forms, and evidence of the hand shape my visual language. Through tactile, dimensional work, I create opportunities for people to slow down, engage their senses, express themselves, and feel more grounded in an increasingly digital world. My practice demonstrates that beauty, individuality, and environmental responsibility can coexist while preserving the value of human skill, material awareness, and making by hand.
