Commissioned Work

I take each commission as an opportunity to connect a client with the material and design that has the best performance and ability to tell their story.

Technical Textile Design

I apply my creative vision through technical means to cloth using tools such as Shima Seiki knit programming, Lectra Kaledo pattern and knit design, EAT woven design, Tajima digital embroidery. Not shown below are my additional skillsets in developing complex weave drafts, complex ZSK embroidery, and sock knit programming.
