Originally I am from Atlanta, GA. I moved to Philadelphia after being accepted into the apprenticeship program at The Fabric Workshop and Museum. After that experience my work and way of thinking changed from being a 2D painter to 3D and textiles. Handbags are a way to keep creating while also having a functional product to sell. When I started making handbags I was making them because I love creating things and the space I was living in was not conducive to painting. My grandmother left me her sewing machine and the process began. I have always loved fabric/textiles but moving to Philadelphia and being exposed to so many different places to find new and vintage textiles makes my creative world limitless. Currently, I am working as a studio manager for a small cottage company and also working for myself making handbags in West Philadelphia.
