“I found joy in fashion and how it can spark different emotions and translate a message to not only the person wearing the outfit but also the viewer.”

About Me

Born and raised in the islands of Hawaii, I always loved being hands on and creative. Thus, Art was one of my favorite subjects growing up. It allowed me to express myself and bring my ideas to life creatively. And along the way, I garnered an interest in fashion.

Which led me to pursue a degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising with a Minor in Business and eventually land a role as a visual stylist at the distinguished Neiman Marcus Ala Moana. As I outgrew that role, I ventured into the world of custom organizational design, where I used my experience in spatial planning and product placement and further developed my design skills.

From there, I delved into a new career that drew upon my previous visual background & design experience - a Project Coordinator at an office design and planning company. I managed the project from start to finish, ensuring timeliness and accuracy and helped with the design process.

Currently, I’m embarking on a new journey here in New York City. I’m open to new opportunities that will showcase my different skills and experience, while expanding and developing new skills to grow and learn.
