    I am a sustainable fashion designer and advocate working to maximize materials to their fullest potential to reduce textile waste. My expertise includes a thorough technical understanding of design, garment construction, patternmaking, and production. I have been sewing and making clothes for decades. I believe that everything has the potential, even the smallest scrap of fabric, and enjoy the journey of finding out how to make the design process more sustainable. You can find me most days in my sewing studio creating custom designs, upcycling, and playing with fabric scraps. Message me if I can help make your next project a success! More about me: Coming from a long line of artists and makers dating back generations, nostalgia, and craft are touchstones for my artwork and fashion design. My interest in Fashion comes from sewing and crafting at an early age, from watching my mother work surrounded by racks of clothes as a buyer at a large department store and witnessing the magic family members created with fabric, yarn, paint, and food. In 2018, I launched Asterisk And None, a series of Recipe-Towels based on old family recipes and vintage kitchen decor on Etsy. My formal connection to the Arts started with a Photography degree from San Francisco State University, continued with exhibiting my innovative photographs, and culminated with a long career as a Gallery Manager at a non-profit art organization. I see organizing exhibitions similar to garment production, where all the components must synchronize to become a reality. I love the process behind making things, and my curious nature always needs to know why and how things get made. I am passionate about being a part of the fashion industry where sustainability, fairness, respect for the environment, the supply chain, and the people who make the clothes are valued.

    *Inquire about flat rates instead of hourly!* I'm a San Francisco based photographer and writer who specializes in creating content for small businesses, artists, and new creators. From local event photography to remote product photography, I can help shine a light on you and your vision. I can also write content for your blogs, websites, descriptions and more to add a more rounded content vision. I'm a former journalist and event photographer with over 12 years of experience in the field, so know that your projects are in good hands! I also love to work with creators such as makeup artists, models, fashion designers, lifestyle bloggers, and more with providing stylish and creative photography and/or content writing for their websites and social channels. I can help a new creator get started when they may not know the first steps to starting out. I do events from small parties, corporate networking events, festivals, cultural ceremonies and more. The only events I do not cover at the moment are weddings. While Upwork has an hourly rate, I love working in packages and fixed-rate contracts, so don't hesitate to reach out if you prefer a flat rate, I'm happy to talk details about that. Please note the hourly rate includes editing and processing time in addition to photography, while a flat-rate package would be just a standard cost, so it's often a better option! For photography, I do not give out unedited RAW images or JPGS. All final images are edited by me, but I can let you select your favorites before editing if you prefer!
