I am a recent graduate from the University of Cincinnati, in Cincinnati, Ohio. My focus was fashion design, specifically product development and merchandising, but I have varying interests across other design fields including trend forecasting and graphic design. I have a passion for travel and have lived in Israel, London, and Athens, Greece; I have also visited Paris, France; Luxembourg, Bali, and Poland; various Canadian provinces and Cancun, Mexico. I have a thirst for knowledge and learned design techniques from friends in Industrial Design and Digital Design. My hobbies include photography, running, cycling, crossword puzzles, and costuming for community theater.

Sort-ed was my senior thesis. I created sort-ed as a line of backpacks as organizational learning tools for elementary school children with AD/HD. These backpacks will allow children the opportunity to create a unique system that will help teach them how to organize their school supplies and maintain those organization techniques throughout the school year.

Dear Jenny was my most recent brand book spurred by the antithesis of computer-aided social networking. Dear Jenny was a creative line of graphic t-shirts inspired by cultural themes such as travel and pop-cults as well as human emotions and a general curiosity to learn about others by asking diverting questions. Dear Jenny hopes to encourage the redevelopment of interpersonal social skills.

I spent the last two co-op quarters at Crye Precision assisting with the design and development of military combat and field apparel and gear. There I learned to pattern using Gerber Accumark. I designed and produced two messenger bags.

This Brand Book was designed for my CAD class. The focus of this course was to learn textile design techniques with Lectra’s Kaledo Print, Knit, and Weave program. This collection was designed for the Autumn/Winter 2011 season for young men inspired by cowboys. I chose cowboys because, for them, it’s all about getting down and dirty, competing against each other, taking risks, adventure, jumping in, and giving it all you’ve got.

Frame Yourself was the product of our New Identity project. We designed and produced a product for sale in Cincinnati’s local boutique, MiCA 12/V. I created a series of six, one-of-a-kind mirrors. Each mirror has a unique, original design that has been laser cut into cherry wood.

This was my first Brand Book. This course culminated with a lesson in fashion photography techniques. The final project was to create a brand and develop a corresponding clothing line. We had to represent it using sketches, technical flats, and the photographs we took during the course.
