My creative passion is the art of fashion styling, merchandising and prototype development for small and large visual installations.  I have worked with luxury retail for the past 8 years, being recognized by my peers as a person with a keen sense of observation, precision and direction.  I am honored by that recognition.

Visual installations in retail provide the diorama of coveted ideals, and I am inspired  by the inception of an idea; how fashion explores a concept, the combination of color, giving me new opportunities to create. This, complimented with the designers choice of fabrics, their texture and fold, provided me the canvas from which I have been able to assemble and install fashion windows.

I have developed a comprehensive awareness to building materials, production and set design, gleaning inspiration from the history of fashion and its designers, theater, and film. - And never to shy away from a challenge, I believe that my aesthetic “thumb-print” continues to evolve.  One can say that I sincerely love to grow with this art form.
