My Work

I am a collaborator, change-maker and innovator. My focus is on the impact of equitable fashion practices on the social fashion environment for consumers. I co-created TOME in NYC, a female-first enterprise that celebrated all faces and facets of women, and empowered them in a truly vertical sense.

TOME was created within the emerging ethical and sustainable fashion paradigm. I create seasonless, straightforward, purposeful work.

I have built several internationally successful brands from the ground up. I know how to bridge the divides between corporate responsibility, ethics, sustainability, diversity and inclusion, creativity, marketing, and sales. I seamlessly and authentically merge these categories and concerns, creating connection in a meaningful way.

TOME

Co-Founder + President, focused on strategy, brand communication, creative and artistic direction, marketing, sales + ecomm.

“Tome is a label that’s been ahead of the diversity curve for years.”

ALLURE

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it's worth reiterating - again - that the respect Tome designers…have for commanding, interesting women is profound, and a pleasure to behold.

Brand Work

I create product and communication strategies that build and retain meaningful customer relationships as the foundation of community and culture.


I grow and shape the vision, aesthetic and ethos of the brand, especially within a diverse, sustainable and ethical framework.

I develop categorical strategies for brands with execution in creative direction, design, sourcing, costing, merchandising, production, sales and marketing.

  • It has been said that my clothes have integrity and that makes me feel like I have accomplished my goal to make hard working, good looking clothes for people's lives. There is sincerity in my approach to wardrobe building, an honesty that people respond to. US Vogue said that "the clothes feel real", and that feels really right.
