As a young girl, I loved my two little fashionista turtles, Amy and Amos, who would provide me with the quiet, un-judging support I needed at the age of eight to be a budding designer. But it was my Uncle Courtney, with panache and great style, who taught me to appreciate the fine detail and fabric of beautiful clothes. His gift to me of a beautiful daisy dress set the wheels in motion for a lifetime passion of capturing ones own style, through fine fabrics, color, texture and detail.

My designs are inspired by the mix of classical styling, vintage, whimsical and a touch of bohemian. I combine luxury fabrics designed with functionality. Each collection contains an exciting or unique flavor, by mixing color and texture. I love vintage and restyling, clothes, and bringing feminine and timeless pieces to life.

Today when I design, I go back to the yellow daisy dress and try to make sure that every accessory and garment I create captures the way I felt when I began my journey in that beautiful dress.
