About Me

I just graduated from Parsons The New School for Design. I loved it. I want to do Product Development and I would love to work for Marc Jacobs, although the West Coast is calling my name...and I would be happy to be at Roxy, Element or Volcum.
I enjoy snowboarding, traveling, Last Chance, design and anything creative.
I currently live in NYC and it's...alriiiight. Brian and Michael are the best part. ;) But there is nothing like home and my wonderful, amazing, fun and truly genuine best friends. My sister is my family and I want to be near her...as well as Kelly, Sarah, Kristin and Kealey to make the circle complete.
Fashion is greater than art because you live your life in it.

Heroes:

I would have to say my parents and my younger sister. My parents set the bar and taught me to always strive for excellence and never to settle. They put people first and were dedicated to always being there for others. And of course life life would not be the same without my sister. She understands me when nobody else does and her insight continues to amaze me.
