002 Beach Bum Resort wear edit

This summer I had the pleasure of creating, styling and photographing a collaborative collection with a SVVIAA swim. SVVIAA swim is a female owned company out of Pittsburgh, PA. The collection we created together features SVVIAA suits alongside Little in Laces handcrafted resort wear edit pieces.

This collection is full of fun colors, textures, and patterns featuring jewelry passed down to me from my grandmother. Showcasing the vibrant beads and metallic pieces from her timeless collection really brought these designs to life. Being able to incorporate my grandmothers vibrant charm was the finishing touch to this shoot.

The models and myself were taken away to a European vacation while on set. The experience was rather exciting as I saw my vision really come to life. To view the collection visit the Little in Lace tab on the website to shop all the pieces.

001 Cherry on top Collection

As I continue to create new pieces and evolve my design portfolio I plan to share each venture here with you.

This group of images is near and dear to my heart. This collection is the first collection I have shot for my Little in Lace brand. Titled 001 Cherry on top just in time for valentines day! This collection features all things fun and comfortable, with elements of jersey knit fabric, elastic lace trims and so much more!

I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I do!!

Projects from my time spent in class

Throughout my time spent at Kent State, I have practiced and learned a variety of different skills. Pictured below are just a few snap shots of my projects from over the years. Before design school, I was a self taught sewer and after my design journey at Kent my skill-set has increased ten-fold. As I progress in my design journey I plan to continue to perfect my craft and design even more garments to share with you all.
