I grew up in the Bay Area, and after graduating from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor of Arts in 2002, I moved to Paris to pursue my love of fashion. I showed my first collection off calendar during the haute couture shows in Paris in January, 2005. Soon after, I shifted my collection to ready-to-wear, and began working on projects like ‘Wendybird,’ a film I did with Ellen von Unwerth that stars Kirsten Dunst wearing my Fall-Winter 2005-2006 collection, and ‘Urban Flowers,’ a photography exhibition also shot by Ellen featuring Zooey Deschanel and Karen Elson in my Spring 2007 collection. I actually just finished another short film focused on my Autumn-Winter 2009 Collection. I currently live in New York, and I have been showing at Bryant Park for the past five seasons. I have been lucky enough to dress amazing girls like Zooey Deschanel, Anne Hathaway, Cameron Diaz, and Kirsten Dunst. My collection has received honors from the UPS Deliver's Future Initiative and the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation. I was also honored to have been considered as a finalist for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund in 2007. The same year, I also designed a Holiday Target Go International collection. I just finished a collaboration with Lu biscuits where I designed a limited edition version of their famed red and yellow cookie box. At the moment, I am hard at work working on my Spring/Summer 2010 Collection.
