I'm a Toronto-based designer working across textiles, fashion, and mixed media with a focus on sustainable and upcycled design. My thesis collection EPICENE, a gender-fluid line built from zero-waste patterning and responsibly sourced materials, was featured at GRADEX 110 and received the 2025 BMO Sustainability/Climate Action Scholarship.

I currently work as a studio assistant at a boutique clothing studio, leading content creation and styling for 20-60 garments weekly, while building my own label AndieGirll, an upcycled fashion and textile art practice.

Featured Project

EPICENE

Thesis Collection — OCAD University

A modular, gender-fluid fashion collection crafted entirely from upcycled and reclaimed textiles. Each garment features interchangeable components — snap-on sleeves, reversible panels, adjustable silhouettes — designed for continual personalization and longevity. The collection challenges fast fashion through circular design, celebrating the beauty of reuse and the transformative potential of discarded materials.
